Generously funded by the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation, Oscar S. Straus II Fellows in Criminal Justice intern each summer at New York City criminal justice non-profit organizations where they engage in direct client services, legal services, social services, and policy research. This program was launched in 1996 and supports 16 to 20 internships, each provided with a weekly living stipend throughout the summer. The Guggenheim program intends for students to develop a real-world understanding of legal issues in criminal justice, to learn about policy innovations, and to consider future careers or further education in fields related to criminal justice.

Please note that due to COVID-19, there may be adjustments to internship opportunities, including remote or hybrid work environments. We will announce any changes as promptly as possible and thank you for your patience and understanding in advance.
