Summer Internship
Los Angeles

The Progressive Jewish Alliance (PJA), a dynamic and growing statewide organization dedicated to the Jewish traditions of pursuing peace, promoting equality and diversity and working for social and economic justice, seeks summer interns for its Los Angeles office.  

PJA summer interns work with the PJA staff on a variety of campaigns and development projects, depending on interest and need.  Possible areas of focus may include (but are not limited to):

Economic and Worker Justice
Muslim-Jewish Community-Building
Young Professional Leadership Development and Engagement
Development and Fundraising
Membership Recruitment and Engagement
General Office Support

This unpaid internship is a great opportunity for anyone interested in social justice, Jewish tradition, and the nexus of the two.  We seek creative, organized, and energetic self-starters with a passion for social justice. Writing and verbal communication skills highly desired.  In exchange for your contribution of time and energy, we offer a unique and vibrant learning environment with a knowledgeable and friendly staff.  Tasks may include organizing and attending community meetings, event planning and implementation, program research, marketing, and data-entry.   And while some tasks can be administrative, we hope to create a balance of our current projects and your interests.  

School credit may be available (depending on your school’s requirements).

For more information about our programs, please go to our website at www.pjalliance.org.

Our office is located in the Olympic and Fairfax area.  As some work takes place outside of the office (meetings, events, etc.), access to a car is preferable.

Please email cover letter, resume, and your availability to jfeldman@pjalliance.org or fax to: (323) 761-8355 attn: Josh Feldman.
