A friend of mine asked me to post this. She coordinates the program and would be great to work with, so please pass this along if you know anyone who'd be interested!
Do you know a young person who is interested in the labor movement? Let them know about Union Semester-- an opportunity to earn undergraduate OR graduate credit while interning at a union in NYC! Now accepting applications for Fall 2007.
THE NEW YORK UNION SEMESTER PROGRAM is now accepting applications for its Fall 2007 program. Rolling admissions: so the earlier you apply, the better your chances of getting a spot!
The New York Union Semester provides students with the opportunity to intern at a labor union or community organization in New York City while taking Labor Studies courses at the City University of New York (CUNY) for a semester.
The program is open to all undergraduates, recent graduates and graduate students in all majors. In addition to a $1700 scholarship and a weekly $210 stipend, all participants receive 16 undergraduate credits or 12 graduate credits for their work and a Labor Studies Certificate.
Internships include a wide range of activities--from organizing to research, to media and communication. A diverse group of unions and community organizations have hosted interns, including SEIU, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, The New York City District Council of Carpenters, New York State Nurses Association, Communication Workers of America and the Teamsters. New York Union Semester is an excellent career opportunity for young people interested in working for social and economic justice. For more information and an application go to www.unionsemester.org , e-mail the Program Coordinator, Amanda Plumb, at info@unionsemester.org, or call 212-642-2075.
