It’s time to end the drug war and invest in our communities. Join our phenomenal team as an intern or staff member.
The Drug Policy Alliance is the leading organization in the U.S. working to end the drug war, repair its harms, and build a non-punitive, equitable, and regulated drug market. We envision a world that embraces the full humanity of people, regardless of their relationship to drugs. We advocate that the regulation of drugs be grounded in evidence, health, equity, and human rights. In collaboration with other movements and at every policy level, we change laws, advance justice, and save lives.
We need creative, innovative professionals to implement our strategic priorities:
DPA fosters a dynamic and flexible work environment, a robust benefits package for full-time employees including health, dental, vision plans, flexible spending, commuter accounts, and retirement plan options with employer match; competitive pay, generous paid time off and more. We have 40 staff across the U.S. This includes New York, California, and Washington D.C. Our annual operating budget is approximately $12 million. Join our team!
"Talent and hard work are recognized at DPA. It was a no-brainer to join an organization that promotes equitable drug policy."

“My internship at DPA was not passive at all - I researched and wrote, evaluated drug policies and trends, and helped craft conference agendas on emerging drug policy issues. I got to do it all while learning alongside some of the most brilliant, thoughtful advocates who would later become my colleagues.”
