Legal Outreach works with over 50 law firms and corporations in New York City to provide our students with opportunities to gain exposure to professional careers. If your organization is looking to create a pipeline into your industry for bright and motivated students of color from under-resourced communities, please consider the opportunities listed below.
Become an Internship Provider
Each summer, students participate in week-long internships at law firms and corporations. Internship providers host a group of four to eight students for one-week and organize activities that allow our students to gain an understanding of the type of work performed by the firm or corporation.
