Center for Democracy and Civic Life Intern Positions [paid]

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 15:05:47 -0500

The Center for Democracy and Civic Life is looking for three undergraduate students to join our team as 2022-23 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 explained below.

The internship positions available for 2022 - 2023 are:

Graphic design intern (15-20 hours/week): The graphic design intern creates program materials, advertisements, reports, and web pages aligned with the Center for Democracy and Civic Life's visual iconography, and suggests design possibilities to other members of the team.

Community civic engagement intern (10-15 hours/week): The community civic engagement intern supports Alternative Spring Break and other programs that position students as agents of change in the Baltimore region. Alternative Spring Break will take place from March 19 - 24, 2023, during UMBC's Spring Break, and the community civic engagement intern must be available throughout that week.

Political engagement intern (15-20 hours/week): The political engagement intern supports programs that 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. The political engagement intern also supports the Center for Democracy and Civic Life's research projects and contributions to national higher education initiatives.

All intern positions pay $12.50/hour for fall 2022, $13.25/hour for spring 2023.
