Summer Legal Intern

Surfrider’s primary legal internship program takes place during the summer, with two placements typically available each year. Summer internships are open to students currently enrolled in a law school program located in the United States who will have completed their 2L year before the internship begins. The program is intended for students participating during the summer between their 2L and 3L years.

Summer interns generally participate for 40 hours per week for 10 weeks. Start and end dates are flexible and are determined in coordination with each selected intern based on their law school schedule and availability. Summer legal interns receive a stipend.

The stipend amount, application deadline, required materials, and other details are included in the applicable internship posting. Summer internships are remote. Surfrider Foundation’s headquarters is located in San Clemente, California, and interns located nearby may have opportunities to perform some work on a hybrid basis.

Hybrid participation is not required.
