  Internships 

  "Through my internship I got to learn all I could want about organizing and the labor movement.
  From orchestrating mass mailings to meeting with city councilmen, I got to be part of
  every step of the process, and got invaluable experience. Plus, it's nice to work at a
  non-profit small enough that you become friends with everyone in the office, and I really felt
  comfortable asking my co-workers any questions I had."
  - Hannah McConnaughay, former summer intern

   for an internship, or if you are not available for this much time, but would like to
   volunteer on a more limited basis, please contact us.

   At the present time, we are only able to offer un-stipened internships during the school year.
