Americans United for Life seeks highly qualified and motivated undergraduate and graduate students to serve as legal interns. AUL internships are outstanding opportunities for exceptional students committed to life issues.

Interns are expected to work in AUL’s offices located in Washington, DC. Internships are typically unpaid, with some exceptions, and may be undertaken for credit (as approved by their school) or to fulfill other graduation requirements. While many internships are hosted in the summer months, internships may be considered on a rolling basis throughout the school year.

Qualifications for becoming an intern include a commitment to pro-life issues and demonstrated excellence both inside and outside the classroom. Additionally, we are looking for individuals who stand out to the faculty of their school.

AUL internships are customized for each student, based on schedule availability, area of interest, and skills.

“The highlight of my internship at AUL was our frequent visits to Capitol Hill, attending several hearings and coalition meetings with Congressional leaders. The first‑hand experience was incredibly beneficial because we were able to see how the work we were doing at AUL was actually relevant and impactful. Our projects and assignments went beyond meaningless busy work. At AUL, the interns play an important role and visiting the Capitol made that evident.

Also, the intern office is awesome; we had a great view!” —Autumn Swain, University of Virginia

“AUL has the best pro‑life internship around. What makes AUL stand out is having time to be face to face with professionals who specialize in and work on pro‑life issues every day and getting to go in person to a number of hearings with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.” —Westin Jablonowski, U.S. Senate staffer
