REFORM was launched in 2019 by award-winning recording artist Meek Mill; Philadelphia 76ers co-owner and Fanatics executive chairman Michael Rubin; Arnold Ventures co-founder Laura Arnold; entrepreneur and business mogul Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter; Kraft Group CEO and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft; Galaxy Digital CEO and founder Michael E. Novogratz; Vista Equity Partners founder, chairman, CEO Robert F. Smith, Brooklyn Nets co-owner and philanthropic investor Clara Wu Tsai; and CNN host and activist Van Jones.
We are using all the resources we have to help fix the flawed criminal justice system in the United States by changing laws and policies, and building a movement of REFORMers to help change hearts and minds.
2021 IT Internship Program Overview
REFORM is seeking candidates for our 2021 summer internship program. The ideal candidate for the IT internship is a college or graduate student in IT, computer science or engineering; is passionate about criminal justice reform; and is a self-starter who is eager to learn in a team environment.
We want to ensure that our group of 2021 summer interns includes people who have lived experience with the justice system. People who have been directly impacted by or involved with the justice system are encouraged to apply, to identify in their application that they have lived experience, and to share any details about that experience that they feel comfortable sharing.
