The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), one of the world’s most effective environmental organizations, is seeking 1-2 China Summer Legal Interns to work in its Beijing office. NRDC hires passionate students who possess the intelligence, skill, self-confidence, and maturity to take on significant responsibility. In exchange for their hard work, our interns will have an opportunity to play an active role on the frontlines of the environmental movement in China.
China Summer Legal Interns will work with the staff of NRDC’s China Environmental Law Project to carry out research and implement programming related to environmental law, legal development, environmental public interest litigation, environmental health governance, and/or climate change. Internships typically last from ten to twelve weeks. No funding will be provided, and interns have typically been able to secure funding through their schools or other sources. Work is mainly based in NRDC’s Beijing office, but may require some travel within China.
Qualifications
- Current candidates for J.D. degrees or environment-related graduate degrees, with relevant academic backgrounds and work experience.

- Working proficiency in both English and Chinese is preferred.
