The Center for Democracy and Civic Life is looking for three undergraduate students to join our team as 2023-2024 interns. Interns support the Center's programs and initiatives, working collaboratively with other members of the staff. Each intern has a particular area of focus, but all members of the team are involved in developing and producing the Center's work. Interns work either 10-15 or 15-20 hours per week during the academic year, with some variation to be determined. Internships will begin in late August 2023 and conclude in May 2024.

The internships available for 2023 - 2024 are:

Graphic design intern (one position): Graphic design interns create program materials, advertisements, reports, and web pages aligned with the Center for Democracy and Civic Life's visual iconography, and suggest design possibilities to other members of the team.

Evaluation and special projects intern (one position): Evaluation and special projects interns support the Center for Democracy and Civic Life's assessment, evaluation, and research projects; investigate topics related to Center programs; and support the Center’s contributions to national higher education initiatives.

Political engagement intern (up to two positions): Political engagement interns support programs that foster dialogue about current events and issues; connect UMBC students with the legislative process in Annapolis; engage them in politics and pathways to political leadership; and encourage their participation in local, state, and national elections.

All intern positions pay $13.25/hour for fall 2023, $14.00/hour for spring 2024.

All undergraduate students with a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA are invited to apply. Preferred but not required: Applicants will have participated in Alternative Spring Break (ASB), STRiVE, ConnectionCorps, and/or other Center for Democracy and Civic Life workshops or programs.
