Job Summary

The Office of Attorney General Keith Ellison has a clear mission: we help Minnesotans afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect.  We are a dynamic group of dedicated professionals who choose public service as a calling, and we are actively and intentionally committed to supporting an internal culture that affirms that calling.

Interns will have the opportunity to work directly with both legal and non-legal professionals supporting the mission of our Office.

This posting is for a 10–12-week summer session beginning in June 2025. Interns will receive a salary of $20 per hour and are expected to work 20-24 hours per week. This position is eligible for a hybrid work environment (combination of in-office and telework).
