This is a remote internship you can undertake virtually from home. Click here to view in-country Law & Human Rights Support internships, if you would prefer to intern abroad.

This virtual internship is perfect for individuals interested in human rights and anti-racism issues and wishing to gain practical experience in the challenges of combating discrimination and advocating for minorities.

Ethnic minorities, women, children, disabled people and immigrants all face daily battles for equality in Israel. Participants in this remote internship in Human Rights and Anti-Racism can make a tangible difference to the lives of people from these disadvantaged backgrounds. You’ll be placed in one of 40 NGOs forming a network of advocacy for discriminated groups all around Israel, supporting local staff with awareness, fundraising and advocacy wherever it’s most needed.

On this human rights internship, interns assist ethnic groups including Palestinian Arabs, Ethiopian Jews, Mizrahi/Oriental Jews, and Russian and African immigrants. Political and societal norms in Israel legitimize racism towards these groups, resulting in violence, profiling, oppression, stereotyping and incitement.

Interns assist a network of NGOs that monitor racism by politicians, media, businesses and other publications, advocating for groups and even taking legal action in some cases. They also undertake lobbying and run events, media campaigns and training programs in order to advance the causes of oppressed groups.

Interns are given tasks from your supervisor and work to your own schedule to ensure deadlines are met. You’ll need to accommodate regular online meetings with your supervisor to update progress, be given new tasks and raise any questions or challenges.
