Job description

ArchCity Defenders (ACD) is a holistic legal advocacy organization that combats the criminalization of poverty and state violence, especially in communities of color. ACD’s foundation of civil and criminal legal representation, social services, impact litigation, policy and media advocacy, and community collaboration achieves and inspires justice and equitable outcomes for people throughout the St. Louis region and beyond.  

ArchCity Defenders envisions a society liberated from systems of oppression where the promise of justice and racial equity is realized; communities where our approach to public safety prioritizes investment in well-being, health, and transformation without relying on criminalization and incarceration; and people living freely in their communities, thriving regardless of their race or income. 

ACD’s Communications team educates the community about the organization's mission, initiatives, and services; advocates for issues important to our client community; supports the legal work of ACD’s staff; provides a platform for our clients to share their stories on their terms; coordinates local, national, and international media relationships; and supports the marketing and fundraising efforts of ACD’s Development team.

ArchCity Defenders is looking for interns to join its dynamic and innovative communications team. Communications interns function as a part of an interdisciplinary team and coordinate with attorneys and staff to support ACD’s mission and expand our reach.

Important General Internship Information:

  • We plan to host Fall 2026 interns and practicum students in person and they are required to work in-person at our new office at 5939 Goodfellow.

  • Fall 2026 interns and practicum students must be able to work part-time for 8-12 weeks, this may vary to meet the needs of the students and ACD staff.
