EJP Internship Application

Thank you for your interest in an internship with the Education Justice Project!

For over ten years, EJP has been offering academic programs to incarcerated individuals at Danville Correctional Center. We also produce multiple reentry guides, host public events to promote awareness around the work we do, and engage in public policy. There are many opportunities to get involved in worthy projects on campus and in the community. We are very grateful you have expressed an interest in EJP.

Please be aware that our main criteria for involvement are seriousness of purpose and sincere interest. You don’t need to be an expert on incarceration, but we hope that you want to learn more about it.

Please complete this form if you're interested in becoming a part of a vibrant, collaborative program that will allow you to meet individuals who share your concerns, acquire skills that can be applied to future efforts, contribute to a meaningful cause, and learn more about the criminal legal system and related issues.
