An internship at Pivot is a hands on experience aimed at motivated self starters who want to play a key role in all aspects of Pivot's work.

We offer internships in the following areas:

Legal campaign work focused around primary and secondary legal and social science research furthering Pivot's legal advocacy.

Hope in Shadows placements are dedicated to implementing community development programs and engaging in community outreach empowering DTES residents through expression and employment.

Development and Communications placements are centered around event and communications strategy and its implementation towards generating widespread, grassroots support for Pivot’s work.

Administration and IT positions ensure the successful day-to-day operation of the Legal Society and LLP.

The application process is straightforward and easy.

All applicants are required to participate in an in-person or telephone interview prior to securing their placement.

We ask that you e-mail a cover letter and résumé to getinvolved [at] pivotlegal [dot] com with "INTERNSHIP APPLICATION" in the subject.

The cover letter and resume should clearly indicate the specific internship placements that interest you and your relevant background and experience.

Pivot’s Internship Program is tailored to the individual.

Because internships are unpaid we are happy to support requests for funding to third parties.

In terms of time commitment, for the most part placements are fulltime – Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. – however, depending on the nature of the campaign work some part-time positions may be available.
