Legal Access Internship Program

Legal Access Internship Program

JusticeCorps recruits 55+ college students every year for our Legal Access Internship Program. Students commit to an intensive 300 hours in Self-Help Centers throughout the Bay Area, helping litigants with legal information for their family and civil law cases. Members are required to serve a minimum of 8 hours per week at their assigned service location. In order to be eligible for the program, you must be a student who will be enrolled in one of our six partner universities or three community colleges during the academic year. Our partner schools are California State University-East Bay, San Francisco State University, San José State University, Santa Clara University, Stanford University, University of California-Berkeley, College of San Mateo, Cañada College, Skyline College and West Valley College. Members may qualify for travel reimbursement and a AmeriCorps education award (Valued at $1,565.08 in 2025) upon completion of their service hours.

If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about our internship opportunities, please feel free to schedule a meeting with one of our Program Specialists or Campus Representatives during their office hours.
