Internship Program

This internship completely exceeded all expectations that I had. Joshua A.

The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission internship program is designed for exemplary college and seminary students. An internship can be a tremendously formative experience for students as they prepare for their career. An intern will come away with a deep satisfaction of knowing that they were directly involved in affecting issues that impact millions of people.

I am grateful for my internship with you all. I learned about various issues that impact the world and it opened my eyes to the great need of helping those in need. Josh D.

If you are college age and interested in social, moral, and public policy issues, please consider the ERLC as you seek internship opportunities. We offer positions to educate individuals about cultural issues, providing them hands-on experience in the fields of communications, public policy, and administration.

Being in Washington and understanding how it works — going to meetings, working with other pro-family groups, and interacting with Congress — really showed me the importance of Christians actively engaging in the public square. Andy L.

The ERLC offers volunteer internships for qualified students throughout the year in both our Nashville and Washington offices. The ERLC seeks to design each experience around the individual’s particular gifting and interests. Our staff is committed to the success of each intern and will mentor him or her during the internship program. Anyone interested in serving at the ERLC as a calling from God should give serious, prayerful consideration to this opportunity.

I very much appreciate the opportunity to work along side the staff at ERLC. My time there was used to help focus my vision for ministry. Rob C.
