community issues. This paid, 8-week position is part of a program called
Labor Summer, sponsored by the new UCR Inland Empire Labor and Community

*UCR Labor Summer 2023 *

*Call for Applications*


The UCR Inland Empire Labor and Community Center will be accepting
applications for the 2023 Labor Summer Program soon for a 2023 Labor Summer
internship!

*What is Labor Summer?*

Labor Summer is an annual fellowship program that brings together young
leaders and community organizations who share a vision for worker justice
and labor rights. UCR student participants are matched with a host
organization for an 8-week, full-time (40 hours/week) internship to
complete projects that strengthen the intersection between the
organization’s social justice mission and labor issues. Throughout the
summer, fellows engage with efforts to align worker rights in the Inland
Empire with related fights for equity, including but not limited to those
related to racial and gender justice and immigrant rights.

UCR undergraduate students will be paid *$6,400 total *for completing the
8-week fellowship program. *Graduate student payments will be higher than
for undergraduate students and depend upon relevant work experience and
training. *Additionally, students receive leadership and professional
development training, a certificate of completion, and access to a UC
statewide Labor Summer network. Currently there are 10 positions open for
UCR undergraduate students and *one position open for a UCR graduate
student. The graduate student position requires previous training in, and
ability to use, graduate-level quantitative methods; *those skills and
training are not required for the undergraduate positions.

*Are you interested in becoming a Labor Summer 2023 intern?*

Labor Summer 2023 is open to all UCR students regardless of their
immigration status. Applicants must be current undergraduate or graduate
students at UCR. We welcome various types of leadership styles and value
the diversity of roles that make social justice movements possible.

If you are an organizer, artist, event planner, grant writer, graphic
designer, researcher, photographer, social media strategist, public
speaker, writer, data analyst, web developer, workshop facilitator,
language interpreter or translator, or have any other skills that you would
like to utilize to advance a social justice movement, then this program is
for you.
 *What is the deadline to apply?*

The deadline for prospective undergraduate student interns to apply is
Thursday April 13, 2023 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.  The deadline for
graduate student interns to apply will be posted soon.


*Will Labor Summer 2023 be in-person, virtual, or hybrid?* Labor Summer
2023 is set to be an in-person experience. Each host organizations will
have their own COVID-19 protocols for the internship. If you have
questions, contact: ucrlaborsummer at gmail.com
