The Service Fund of NOW-NYC runs a Helpline and several legal clinics, and interns provide appropriate referral resource information to women needing help.

Applicants must be professional, responsible, dedicated to achieving women's rights, and committed to the mission of NOW-NYC. The internship is unpaid and requires a minimum of 15 hours per week throughout the spring/fall semesters and a minimum of 32 hours per week during the summer. Students must dedicate 4 hour blocks of time to satisfy the hours requirement. Note: NOW-NYC will work with students’ schools as needed to help interns attain school credit in the cases where it is available.

Program Area: Program work is focused on supporting and advancing all of our chapter's programmatic work in our key issue areas. Program Interns contribute to event planning and outreach, major communications including website updates, implementing our direct service clinics, creating our newsletter, and conducting policy research.

Development Area: Development work is focused on fundraising activities including: event planning for our major award ceremonies/fundraising events, grant-writing, phone-banking, developing marketing strategies, and building our donor relations.

Work will include: creating/attending trainings for tabling and outreach; researching outreach venues; and conducting tabling and outreach at parks, events, fairs, and campuses across NYC.
