Undergraduate Internships
About Becket’s Undergraduate Internship Program
Becket’s undergraduate internship program allows top communications, media arts, and pre-law students the chance to litigate high profile religious liberty cases in the court of public opinion.
We equip our interns with the tools and experience needed to excel in their future career and to advance religious liberty in their chosen profession. We do this by teaching the legal and historical foundations of “religious liberty for all” and providing hands-on training in a fast-paced environment that allows interns to work alongside Becket’s diverse team of experts. Each intern will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a Becket mentor to develop and execute a summer work plan and receive comprehensive feedback.
Becket interns collaborate with the communications, legal, research, operations, and management teams to gain experience in all aspects of non-profit management while also developing subject-matter knowledge of religious freedom.
How to Apply
To apply for an undergraduate internship at Becket, please send an email to internships@becketlaw.org, and attach the following information:
- Cover letter (emphasizing why you believe religious freedom is important)

- Transcript (unofficial is sufficient)
- List of three references (recommendation letters a plus)
We accept applications beginning November 1st. Applications are due by January 5th. Ideal candidates will have excellent writing and editing skills and must have a keen interest in religious liberty. We look for, but do not require, candidates with an interest in fundraising and general organization management, photography, social media strategy, and videography; experience in videography and in using Adobe photo and video editing software is a plus.
The internship is a ten-week summer program. Interns will receive a stipend to help cover living expenses.
