|---|
| The NYPIRG internship program is designed to demonstrate to students how grassroots student activism can create concrete social, governmental, economic, and environmental change. Interns will work both in person and remotely, depending on the most recent covid guidelines on campus. Students will have an experiential learning opportunity by working directly with NYPIRG staff. NYPIRG has fought for the public interest and engaged in grassroots political organizing for over 45 years. We are currently seeking interns for the Fall 2022 semester. This internship will give you hands-on experience in grassroots organizing and academic credit through the Urban Studies Internship Program (UBST101). Interns will apply the activism skills developed through the program to organize students on a specific campaign. The program offers students a unique opportunity to see how political organizing happens from the beginning to the end of a campaign through hands-on experience. Some skills interns will develop include public speaking, time management, persuasive speaking, research, advocacy, writing, and more. |
