FIRE Intern
FIRE offers an eight-week, paid Summer Internship as part of our efforts to educate students about their rights at colleges and universities. This internship gives current undergraduates the opportunity to assist FIREin defending civil liberties on campuses all across the country. FIREinterns do substantive work and participate in weekly seminars with FIREstaff and other experts on freedom of expression, due process, and much more. During their internship, they often write ÃÛÖÏãÌÒ's blog. You can see their work below.
