Apply for the 2015 KI Summer Organizing Internship

Posted in Organizing Internship

Applications are now open for the 2015 KI Summer Organizing Internship! The KI Summer Organizing Internship provides an opportunity for Georgetown students to observe the impact of community and labor organizing, support and contribute to ongoing worker justice campaigns and projects, and develop their own organizing skills through the day-to-day experience of the internship.

Through firsthand involvement in local campaigns, students will develop their own view of the challenges facing workers in the modern economy and the role of worker justice in a larger social justice context. From these experiences, students contribute to the next generation of the worker justice movement. Read reflections by Diondra Hicks and Yanely Perez on their experiences working with ONE DC and DC Jobs with Justice in summer 2014.

This is a paid internship for Georgetown University students, and it lasts 8 weeks from the beginning of June to the end of July. Participants will attend a three-day training from June 1-3, begin the internship on June 4, and conclude the internship on July 30. Applications for summer 2015 are due Wednesday, March 4 at 11:59 PM.

For more information, please read the program description and access the application. Please direct any questions to Nick Wertsch at 202-687-4987 or nmw9@georgetown.edu.
