Schedules are flexible, and there are opportunities to work from home may be available, so we encourage everyone to apply! Candidates must be available for at least ten weeks, 10-15 hours a week (barring finals or other unusual circumstances), and must come into the office at least once a week.

These internships are unpaid, though we are more than happy to help you secure university credit or funding. Full-time interns may be eligible for a monthly Metrocard - please inquire.

Student Organizing Internship

Student organizing interns assist in our outreach to students, developing organizing information and/or strategies, and engaging people in our movement. They may also help with planning our seasonal events and generating our written resources. This is a great opportunity for both aspiring new organizers and those with experience organizing on-campus to work closely with the National Organizer to assist and provide resources for students as part of our support apparatus and national campaign work. This work is primarily via email or on the phone -- good communication and writing skills are a must, and providing a writing sample is highly encouraged.
