    Job Description

    Job DescriptionSalary: NCOSE internships offer a monthly stipend. Stipend amount will vary based on the intern's location (in DC metro area or remote).

    ABOUT NCOSE & INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:

    The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) exists because people should be free to live and love without sexual abuse and exploitation If you share this vision and want to help create a culture where all individuals can thrive, then we invite you to join us

    The Sexual Justice Advocate Internship program enables you to participate in the ongoing work of defending human dignity. Internships offer a unique opportunity to combat sexual abuse and exploitation while gaining new skills through hands-on opportunities that seek to prevent exploitation before it begins. Interns also enjoy abundant opportunities to meet nationally recognized leaders in the field of anti-sexual exploitation and attend education briefings. The program also offers interns an opportunity to investigate their individual strengths and develop new skills.
    NCOSE is focused on mass-scale prevention of sexual abuse and exploitation and deploys the tactics of corporate advocacy, public policy, civil litigation, and grassroots mobilization to reach this. Read about some of our recent victories here.

    ABOUT THIS POSITION:

    NCOSE's legislative policy efforts aim to defend dignity and combat sexploitation through political advocacy at the national and state levels with bi-partisan support of all legislative solutions. We believe this task is both offensive and defensive in that we must prevent bad legislation from being enacted while working to proactively educate Congress and state legislatures so that policymakers instead produce good legislation that will help protect victims of sexual exploitation as well as prevent sexual exploitation. Interns play an important role in this collaborative work.
