  • Responsibilities

    The Detroit Justice Center is seeking a Grants and Foundation Relations Intern to join our dynamic team. The Grants and Foundation Relations Intern will gain experience and competency with grant management, as well as best practice for foundation stewardship. Working directly with the Development Manager, this internship will center foundation research and proposal writing, as well as grants administration and reporting.

    The Detroit Justice Center works alongside communities to create economic opportunities, transform the justice system, and promote equitable and just cities.

    DJC is founded on the belief that we cannot build cities that work for everyone without remedying the impacts of mass incarceration. This mission requires innovative ways of community lawyering—rooted in defensive and offensive fights for racial justice and economic equity—that build up our poorest residents through direct services and novel approaches to land use, housing, and employment.
