Office Intern: You’ll assist us with our general programs – including cutting-edge LGBTQ+ policy and legal work – and conference preparation. Every year, with help from office interns, the LGBTQ+ Bar hosts the Lavender Law® Conference and Career Fair.

This position is based in Washington, DC and office interns are expected to work in-person from our office.

Legal Intern: You’ll be tasked with assisting us with legal research and policy work, and with program development for LGBTQ+ and ally law students and attorneys.
