Internships
The Environmental Defense Center does not currently have any openings for interns. We do encourage you to check back, as interns do play a critical role in supporting our program staff on our cases and also helping us with coordination and execution of outreach and events.

EDC attorneys involve students in every aspect of actual cases.
