Jobs and Internships
At Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), we want to end the drug war. We’d love for you to be part of this movement and our phenomenal team!
To end the drug war and its harmful effects on people, particularly people of color, we seek creative, innovative professionals to implement our strategic priorities to:
- decriminalizing drugs and building health-based alternatives;
- uprooting the drug war from civil systems (e.g. employment, housing, immigration);
- disempowering police in drug enforcement and response;
- reducing punishments for people in the drug trade;
- reinvesting drug war resources into the communities most harmed, and
- eliminating the poison drug supply through responsible legal regulation of all drugs.
At DPA, we care about people. Our culture includes a casual work environment, full benefits package, competitive pay, flexible work arrangements, and more. We have 40 staff across the US, including New York, California, and Washington DC, and an annual operating budget of approximately $12 million. Join us!
