Internship Opportunities
ELC hosts interns & externs from law schools , grad schools, and undergraduate programs. We are no longer accepting applications for 2025.
In 2026, we plan to have 3 internship slots for the Spring and 6 for the Summer (Fall tbd). Additionally, we will consider in-person interns or fellows who can work from our Durango office at any time of year.
Spring interns are typically fully remote though are welcome to work from our office in Durango or connect at events attended by ELC staff around the U.S. or in other countries.
Summer interns are required to spend at least 1-2 weeks working at our Durango office unless circumstances (e.g., difficult visa requirements, financial hardship) make that impossible, and are welcome to work at the office up to the full internship period. We are typically able to find low-cost housing options for the duration of your stay in Durango.
If you would like to be added to an interest list for a Spring or Summer 2026 internship, please fill out the form below or send an email with subject line “Internship interest” to volunteer@earthlaw.org, and we’ll contact you when the application window has reopened.

Prospective interns are strongly encouraged to take our annual Earth Law Summer Course.
