Internships
Our internship program is designed to give interns full access to the creative and administrative operations at KARAMAH. Interns will have the opportunity to be involved in every department of our organization, gaining valuable experience and skills in program development and execution, research development, fundraising, communications, and operations. While we do not assign interns to specific departments, applicants will be able to note the departments that interest them. In addition to becoming an integral part of departmental operations, interns will also be able to produce a long-term project that will benefit KARAMAH and also become a strong part of each intern’s personal portfolio of work. We have several exciting projects from which an intern can choose, or an intern may propose another project that is relevant to KARAMAH’S work.
KARAMAH seeks an intern to assist with the design, production, and maintenance of our website and social media platforms. The intern will work closely with KARAMAH’s Communications and Development team to design and update web content, graphics, and social media; basic page programming, photo research, online video, and other duties as necessary and applicable.
The study of Islamic and American Jurisprudence is central to all of KARAMAH’s initiatives. The lawyers and scholars at KARAMAH stay abreast of the latest developments in Islamic law around the world in addition to being experts in classical Islamic Jurisprudence. They use this knowledge to empower women in a variety of communities and regions, help women in the US obtain justice in their faith communities and in the courts, and help Muslim women better understand their faith. In addition to program activities, KARAMAH is active in facilitating conversations about Islamic law and women, including producing original scholarship and networking with the top jurists in the world. Interning at KARAMAH is a fantastic opportunity for law students to expand their knowledge about the law and help make positive change at the same time.
