Intern With Us

LWB US Internship

Libraries Without Borders US is a nonprofit committed to expanding access to information and bridging the digital divide. We partner with libraries, schools, small businesses, community-based organizations and civic institutions to transform laundromats, lobbies, parks, recreational centers, and other public spaces into pop-up learning centers. Through this approach, we literally meet people where they are—whether that’s a laundromat in the Bronx or a refugee camp in Jordan—to amplify the impact of our partners, expand community access to relevant and reliable resources, and equip individuals with opportunities to improve their lives.

Libraries Without Borders US seeks enthusiastic, efficient, highly collaborative and dynamic self-starters. Interns who want to share our passion for expanding access to information and social justice through their specific self-interests and capabilities.

We accept interns in a variety of areas on a rolling basis. If you don’t see a position specific to your interest, feel free to reach out to us.
