Job Opportunities
We’re a small but mighty organization looking for the newest members of our ambitious, highly effective, and growing team.
North Dakota Project Coordinator
The North Dakota Project Coordinator will work hand-in-hand with the North Dakota State Director managing legislative, advocacy, education, and public engagement initiatives across projects, coalitions, and partnerships. The coordinator will also support Gender Justice’s North Dakota work by tracking project progress. A large part of this role will be working on managing, building, and deepening the organization’s coalition work and increasing our effectiveness at demonstrating public support for our initiatives.
Internships & Fellowships
Gender Justice is committed to mentoring the next generation of advocates for gender equity. We welcome inquiries from college students studying law, public policy, gender theory, nonprofit administration, and related fields. We offer compelling learning experiences for undergraduate, graduate, and law students, new lawyers, and paralegals.
Interns at Gender Justice are on a seasonal cohort schedule: Spring, Summer, and Fall/Winter interns. These seasons have been set to largely align with school schedules and provide a cohort-type learning experience, though exceptions can be made upon request.
The schedule is as follows:
- Spring internships run roughly from January through April;
- Summer internships run roughly from May through August;
- Fall internships run roughly from September through December.
Legal Internships
We provide legal internships with stipends to current law students. We are full for the Fall but please check back for Spring internships.
North Dakota Legal Intern
With growing attacks on gender equity, reproductive freedom, and LGBTQ+ rights, now is a crucial time to join the fight. During your internship, you’ll assist with the ongoing cases Gender Justice is litigating in North Dakota. You will also assist with and learn about the legislative and policy advocacy, administrative advocacy, public education, organizing, outreach, and coalition work that accompanies our North Dakota litigation.
Development Internships
With growing attacks on reproductive freedom and LGBTQ+ equity, we’re looking to increase our development capacity so we can expand our work. During your internship, you’ll learn about fundraising, non-profit administration, communications, database management, and planning events.
We welcome applications from anyone based in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota interested in learning about non-profits and gender equity. Internships last one semester (or one summer) and include a stipend. We fill internship positions on a rolling basis as we receive applications.

We are committed to fostering the leadership of women, people of color, Native and indigenous people, LGBQ and trans people, immigrants, and others living in marginalized communities.
Milestones of Progress
Our organization has celebrated some big wins over the years and we continue to grow in the ways we harness strategic impact litigation, legislative advocacy, and education to push the law forward when it comes to gender equality. Check out what we’ve accomplished, together.
