Interfaith Worker Justice
The Center for Social Concerns will sponsor two students in the Interfaith Worker Justice Summer Internship. This is a 10-week program for undergraduate students who want to be active in the worker justice movement. Through hands-on experiences, interns advocate for the right of all people to be treated with dignity in their work. Interns are placed at interfaith committees or workers' centers across the country, where their responsibilities can include outreach to the religious community on labor issues, interviewing workers' and business leaders, participating in local and national campaigns, and working on public policy. The internship will begin June 6, 2011 with a week of training and conclude August 13, 2011 after debrief sessions.
To apply for one of the positions funded by the Center for Social Concerns, download the application, fill it out, and turn it in to Andrea Smith Shappell by March 1, 2011. Interviews will be held before spring break. Once the students are chosen, the applications will be forwarded to the national office.
