Students currently enrolled in law school or an advanced degree program are encouraged to apply and will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year as capacity allows. Preference will be given to individuals with a demonstrated interest in animal or environmental law and policy, and those seeking course credit through an accredited institution. 

We look forward to discussing how we can facilitate an experience that accommodates your schedule, highlights your talents, and advances your career goals.

Advocacy Abroad internship and externship placements offer invaluable opportunities for students to explore issues affecting animals and their habitats in international locations. Through cultural immersion and collaboration with local advocates, legal professionals, and organizational partners, participants gain new perspectives and a deeper understanding of a community’s unique challenges and barriers to sustainable change. In addition to experiential learning, students play a key role in fulfilling our ongoing commitment to assisting and empowering advocates in their efforts to defend animals and the environment in these locations.

The Advocacy Abroad Program is typically a two-week opportunity open to law students and non-law graduate students. Preference will be given to our previous interns and externs and those that have successfully completed our Virtual Advocacy Program.
