The CAC has a robust internship program where high school, college, and law students learn how to address issues of public concern, evaluate policy considerations, and engage in community organizing in a hands-on manner. Interns are mentored by and work with community lawyers on substantive projects such as facilitating community forums; researching public policy issues; monitoring local governments; updating CAC’s nearly four dozen Citizen Guides to reflect the current news, political realm, and society’s problems and much more. While the CAC hosts interns all year long, our summer internship program is an intensive 10 week program and the CAC has hosted students fromInternship Opportunities colleges and law schools throughout the U.S. The culmination of the summer internship program is our annual “Democracy Night” where all students give a presentation about their experience and the issues they worked on, and field questions from the general public.
