The Inland Empire Labor & Community Center at UCR is now accepting
applications for the 2025 Labor Summer Fellowship. APPLY NOW
<https://ielcc.ucr.edu/labor-summer/prospective-fellows> to become a fellow
for the 2025 Labor Summer fellowship!
What is Labor Summer?

Founded in 2022 and hosted by the Inland Empire Labor and Community Center
<https://ielcc.ucr.edu/> at UCR, the Labor Summer Fellowship is an annual
program that brings together emerging leaders and community organizations
who share a vision for worker justice and labor rights. Student
participants are matched with a host organization for an 8-week, full-time
fellowship to complete projects that strengthen the intersection between
the organization’s social justice mission and labor issues. Throughout the
summer, students will learn the basics of community and labor organizing
and get hands-on experience building power with workers and Inland Empire
residents. Several Labor Summer alumni have been offered full-time
positions after the program and are at the forefront of the labor movement
in the Inland Empire and beyond.

UCR students are awarded $7,360 in recognition of their participation in
the program. Additionally, students receive leadership and professional
development training, a certificate of completion, and access to a UC
statewide labor summer network.

*Are you interested in becoming a Labor Summer 2025 fellow?*

Labor Summer 2025 is open to all UCR upper-division standing undergraduate
students regardless of their immigration status. Applicants must be current
UCR undergraduates in upper-division standing (including seniors graduating
at the end of Spring quarter 2025) to qualify for the fellowship. Students
in any major interested in worker justice, labor and immigrants rights, and
other social justice issues are encouraged to apply! We welcome various
types of leadership styles and value the diversity of roles that make
social justice movements possible.

designer, researcher, photographer, social media strategist, public
speaker, writer, data analyst, web developer, workshop facilitator,
