CLEE is delighted to have graduate and undergraduate student interns join us in advancing our cutting-edge research in environmental law and policy. Past opportunities have spanned from pro-bono attorneys conducting work with us over the course of multiple semesters to undergraduate students from universities around the country joining our team as summer interns.
What to expect
As a volunteer with CLEE, you should expect to work alongside leaders in the field advancing innovative and timely work on environmental law and policy. We are committed to ensuring that our volunteers and interns are doing work that prepares them for a career in environmental and energy governance.
Undergraduate Internships
Summer:
Each summer, CLEE hosts interns from universities across the country to build innovative land, water, and climate solutions. Interns experience the process of policy development and work alongside key environmental thought leaders.
These roles are flexible, part-time, and unpaid, typically running from June through August. The application window begins on March 1 and ends April 15. Please return during this time to apply.

Our Fall and Spring Internship applications are in the process of being moved to the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP). This page will be updated with further details as they are finalized.
