The Innocence Project is a not-for-profit organization that works to exonerate innocent people through post-conviction DNA testing and develop and implement policy changes to prevent wrongful convictions and otherwise reform the criminal justice system.
The Innocence Network is an affiliation of over 70 independent nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and public defender’s offices that is dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted people and reforming the criminal justice system to avoid future injustice. The Innocence Network member organizations vary in the size, budget, and number of cases they can investigate, and most primarily represent clients in the state in which they work.
The Innocence Network Support Unit is seeking an intern to support the operational activities of the Innocence Network. The Network Special Projects Intern will report to the Innocence Network Coordinator and will work with other members of the Network Support Unit. The intern can expect to gain direct exposure to various areas of non-profit management, event planning, and exposure to a national coalition of criminal legal reform organizations. The internship is based in the Innocence Project office in lower Manhattan and requires a minimum commitment of at least 16 hours a week beginning in September 2025; however, the time frame and schedule are flexible.
The intern will also be required to attend and help staff the 2026 Innocence Network Conference in Chicago, IL, a gathering of innocence attorneys and staff members, freed and exonerated people and their family members, and many other members of the innocence movement. The intern will travel to Chicago on Tuesday, April 7th and return the following Sunday, April 12th. All expenses, including travel, hotel, and meals during the conference, will be paid by the Innocence Project.
Please note that this is not a legal internship and is better suited for individuals looking to pursue careers in the non-profit management sector.
