Housing Works is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending the dual crisis of homelessness and AIDS. In support of its mission, Housing Works’ HIV Law Project provides legal and advocacy services to low-income HIV-positive New Yorkers. The HIV Law Project embodies the belief that all people deserve the same fundamental rights, particularly the right to live with dignity and respect, the right to be treated as equal members of society, and the right to have their basic human needs fulfilled.

The Position

The HIV Law Project seeks a Law Student Intern devoted to social justice, human rights, and public service. Although this is an unpaid opportunity, the student would gain invaluable experience in advocacy and litigation in legal areas such as housing, benefits, immigration, and civil rights. The student would also benefit from a flexible schedule (including the ability to work remotely), mentorship, and the chance to improve their skills in research, writing, and communication.
