Volunteer & Internship Opportunities
The Immigrant History Initiative seeks undergraduate and graduate student interns for Summer 2020 (part-time or full-time), with possibility to extend into the academic school year. Applications are considered on a rolling basis.
Qualifications:
This position is open to undergraduate and graduate students of diverse backgrounds, who are interested in working on the cutting edge of nonprofit education work by developing curriculum with a critical race and social justice lens. While this is a remote position, interns will work closely with IHI leadership on a curriculum development project focused on American history and immigration. They will also participate in crucial aspects of organizational development, such as grant-writing. Applicants should possess good research, writing, and interpersonal skills and have a strong commitment to racial and social justice. Experience in teaching and curriculum-writing is a strong asset.
Responsibilities may include:
This internship is a remote position with weekly in-person supervision meetings. As a result, we will preference applicants based in or near the New York City area during the internship period.
The internship is unpaid; however, we will work with students who seek to obtain school credit or outside funding.
To Apply:
Send a cover letter and resume to staff@immigranthistory.org with subject heading “Summer Internship 2020.” Applications are considered on a rolling basis.
