About Americans for Immigrant Justice

Americans for Immigrant Justice (AI Justice), an award-winning not-for-profit legal services organization founded in 1996 to protect and promote the basic human rights of immigrants, has a multicultural and a multilingual staff. AI Justice has represented clients from around the world and is recognized as a powerful advocate and national leader for immigrants' rights. AI Justice works closely with traditional civil rights groups as well as grassroots organizations and local, state and national government officials to affect positive change in immigration policies.

About the Children’s Legal Program

AI Justice’s Children’s Legal Program (CLP) provides free legal services to immigrant children, including children detained in South Florida shelters to fight their deportation. CLP also serves non-detained immigrant children living in Florida with a parent, guardian, or in foster care. Despite their young age and the trauma they’ve often endured, immigrant children are not entitled to free legal representation in immigration proceedings. If not for CLP, thousands of children would be forced to navigate the complicated court system alone, denying them the opportunity to seek safety.

Summer 2025 Legal Internship Opportunities for the Children’s Legal Program

Interns will have the opportunity to directly support the CLP staff attorneys and clients by assisting with:

· Applications for relief such as asylum, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status and any other immigration benefit for which a client may qualify;

· Legal proceedings, including before the immigration court and USCIS;

· Legal research and writing; and

· Know Your Rights presentations.

Qualifications

· Fluency in Spanish or Haitian Kreyol preferred

· Currently enrolled at an accredited law school

· Must be willing to submit to an extensive background check, including FBI, statewide repository, and sex offender registry check
