In recent years, ICLC has successfully sponsored Skadden, AmeriCorps, and Equal Justice Works fellowship candidates with projects related to our core practice areas.
To apply for ICLC fellowship sponsorship, please send your resume along with a letter identifying the fellowship that you would like to apply for and describing your interest in ICLC, your proposed fellowship project, and your experience in the proposed fellowship area to ICLC’s Director of Pro Bono, at probono@innercitylaw.org. Fellowship sponsorships inquiries are accepted on a rolling basis each year until August 31.
ICLC enthusiastically encourages the proposal of projects that combine litigation or advocacy with community outreach, public education, and other needed services related to housing and homelessness. Fellowship candidates should:
- Have strong writing, research, and analytical skills;
- Be self-motivated and able to manage a variety of tasks;
- Have strong academic performance;
- Have a established knowledge of, or interest in, the proposed practice area;
- Be bright, passionate, and a hardworking team player; and
- Be committed to ICLC’s clients, mission, and values.
ICLC staff work closely with selected candidates to develop their final fellowship proposal.
