This is an opportunity for students to gain hands-on outreach and/or communications experience at a national nonprofit organization specializing in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV civil rights law.

Upkeep of media clipping files
Assembling media packets

Proofreading and light copy editing
Data entry
Some writing for Lambda Legal’s print and online publications

Copying and filing; and other administrative tasks
Lambda Legal provides a pleasant, collegial environment for students interested in law, LGBT issues, civil rights, organizing and/or nonprofit workplaces. Interns must be able to work 16 to 24 hours a week between 9:30 and 5:30, Monday through Friday at Lambda Legal’s office, located at 120 Wall Street.
Funding: As this is a nonpaying position, applicants are strongly encouraged to seek out and apply for grants from their school or other sources.
Application Procedure: Applicants should send a resume, cover letter and 1-2 page writing sample to Shayna Pinckney at [email protected]. The cover letter should include the applicants’ hours of availability for the semester and the phone numbers and titles of two references. More information can be found at http://www.lambdalegal.org.

Boo hoo alright, it was only three who topped themselves. Pity a few more, (particularly Mahommed Daoud) didn't take that option also.
