Undergraduate Internship 

Pathways to Citizenship invites dedicated and driven college students to apply for our rewarding undergraduate internship. This is an opportunity to witness the intricacies of immigration law, advocate for vulnerable populations, and learn about the cultural and legal challenges immigrants must navigate to succeed in America.

 Undergraduate Internship 

We will not be accepting any undergraduate internship applications at this time. Please check back for updates.  

Our Undergraduate Interns support our entire staff by working with the legal staff on updating client information on our legal software, and creating country condition reports, and updates on the ever evolving immigration landscape. Additionally, our undergrads support our volunteer programs by helping to write grants, make social media posts, create infographics, flyers, etc. There are a variety of projects and opportunities for our undergraduate students to do!

I’ve learned how the fear of uncertainty of status can hurt a generation. I’ve seen how the protection and opportunities of status can help a generation."
