Internships

Internships (20 hr/wk, 9-12 months) in Social Media or Administrative Operations at National Black Worker Center Project

Fields: African American, labor, racial justice, economic justice, social justice

Location: Raleigh North Carolina

Deadline: July 13, 2018

Details and Requirements: In response to disproportionately high levels of unemployment and low wage work in black communities, the National Black Worker Center Project was launched in 2012. The National Black Worker Center Project (NBWCP) is a national network of black worker centers. We support and incubate worker centers who empower black workers to advance their rights and improve the quality of jobs in key employment sectors. We provide education about the impacts of low-wage work and unemployment on black communities, and work to prevent racial discrimination in hiring and other employment practices and policies. Through our network we intervene in the labor market to improve racial and economic employment conditions. The NBWCP Internship program will provide an opportunity for current undergraduate students or recent graduates to gain hands on experience at a growing social justice nonprofit organization. As the National office is still in its infancy with a start-up type of environment, there is vast opportunity for interns to learn and grow with the organization. We envision each intern to spend 9-12 months with us, gaining exposure to various areas within the organization and the social justice field. $10-$15 per hour, 20 hours per week
