For the past seven or eight years, the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education has conducted a successful paid summer internship program placing approximately 20 UC students in positions with unions or community-based organizations focused on labor issues. Undergraduate and graduate students from all Northern California UC campuses are eligible to apply. The program has two tracks: an organizing track where students are placed in projects where they would learn organizing skills and a research track where projects sharpen students' research skills. A number of students are asked by their sponsor organizations to continue the working relationship past the duration of the internship. The deadline for applications is March 14th.
Any help you can provide in getting the word out to undergraduate and graduate students at UC Davis would be of great service. Several former interns report that they first heard about the program through you.
In Solidarity,
