Become an Intern

Our interns play a critical role in helping us achieve human rights impact. The Irish Section intern programme offers work experience for those interested in a career in human rights. Interns form an integral part of our operations, as they bring experience, ideas and a fresh perspective and support and complement the work of paid staff.
Internships are a great way to get hands on experience in certain areas, or on issues that you’re passionate about.

Days and hours are flexible - however interns are required to be in the office for at least 20 hours per week. Interns need to commit to 3-6 months.

Internships are unpaid. However, Amnesty will pay you a small amount for days you are in the office to cover transport and lunch costs.

The nature of internships means that placements are only offered for defined periods; if you are interested in an ongoing role with Amnesty International Ireland, please visit our volunteering page.

When positions are available they will be advertised on our Internships page.
