Volunteers

Do you have experience or special training? Legal Services for Prisoners with Children is always seeking volunteers. LSPC seeks assistance from attorney volunteers and non-attorney volunteers throughout the year. These volunteer opportunities may be for single-day events or individual projects, or you may prefer to make a longer-term commitment to assisting with ongoing projects in our office.

Please share your information and interest through the contact form on this page. We will contact you if we have an opportunity that fits your skills and interests. All information shared here will be kept confidential.

Internship

Legal Services for Prisoners with Children seeks law students and non-law students with a strong commitment to social justice and prison reform/abolition for its three internship terms throughout the year (Spring, Summer & Fall). Interns would assist with community organizing, law, policy and administrative support work. Applicants with experience and/or interest in any or all of the following areas are encouraged to apply. We also strongly encourage applications from individuals personally impacted by systems of mass incarceration. During summer sessions, interns are expected to work a minimum of 35 hours per week. For fall and spring sessions, we ask for a 16-hour per week minimum commitment.

Ideal candidates should have a demonstrated commitment to racial, gender, and/ or economic justice and strong research and writing skills. Writing samples of any kind, including excerpts, are accepted; please choose a piece that you feel highlights your writing and analytical skills and/ or dedication to social justice.

Our internships are unpaid, but we may be able to provide limited stipends to directly-impacted interns on a case-by-case basis. All internships take place at our Oakland office.

If you are interested in applying, please email a resume, cover letter, and a short (5 pages or fewer) writing sample to Tina Nunn at tina@prisonerswithchildren.org

Alison Diep

Alison is an intern at LSPC. She graduated from UC San Diego with a B.A in Political Science-Public Policy. Prior to transferring to UCSD, she was part of student governments such as Student Senate for Chabot College and Student Senate for California Community Colleges that fueled her passion for advocacy. She is interning at LSPC to strengthen her knowledge about the criminal justice system, and ultimately become a more effective agent of change to combat injustices towards incarcerated people and minorities. Interning at LSPC will be her foray into legal and policy advocacy and grassroots organizing. She hopes to use her skills to help restore rights, provide support for people in need and become a better advocate.
