S.T.O.P. is based out of New York City, and while our internships can function 100% remotely, staff and interns in NYC can take advantage of coworking meetups, advocacy and action events, as well as other in-person opportunities.
At this time, internship positions are unpaid and available for college credit or to those with outside. We are currently working towards a paid internship program in the future.
