Vera runs an annual summer internship program for undergraduate, graduate, and law school students. Interns typically work full time in one of Vera’s departments or centers; some part-time positions may be available. In addition to working on individual assignments, all interns participate in events organized by the internship coordinator; in the past interns have visited Sing Sing Correctional Facility, lunched with executive-level management, and visited Vera demonstration projects.
