The ACLU of Georgia is seeking Legislative Fellows for the 2026 legislative session to help advance civil liberties and rights across the state. This is a full-time, in-person position (40 hours per week) with flexibility for limited remote work. Fellows will receive compensation ranging from $15 to $20 per hour, depending on experience and education, or may choose to receive academic credit instead.

The application deadline is November 14, 2025.

We’re looking for people who live and breathe policy — individuals who are curious about how laws are made, how they impact communities, and how strategy turns into change. Fellows should be detail-oriented thinkers who can translate complex issues into clear, actionable insights.

Open to:

• Career professionals with experience in policy, advocacy, or governmental affairs.
• Exceptional undergraduate upperclassmen, graduate students, law students, with relevant experience or coursework in political science, public policy, or law.

As a Legislative Fellow, you’ll work closely with our Policy and Advocacy team to:

• Use legislative tracking software to monitor key legislation
• Research and analyze proposed legislation impacting civil liberties
• Monitor and summarize committee hearings and floor debates
• Draft policy briefs, talking points, and testimony
• Support advocacy campaigns and coalition efforts
• Assist in community mobilization and volunteer engagement

• Strong analytical, writing, and communication skills
• Proven ability to synthesize information quickly and accurately
• High attention to detail and commitment to deadlines
• Demonstrated interest in civil liberties, social justice, or public policy
