UCBI application opens Monday, October 19! We're hiring interns to work our community partner organizations January - June 2021.

UCBI is a paid internship program for undergraduates who are interested in working in nonprofits and public sector organizations. Interns work 10 hours/week with community-based organizations throughout Seattle and King County winter and spring quarters. Additionally, they participate in weekly cohort meetings led by UCBI student mentors.

Why participate in UCBI:

  • Take your learning off campus and (re)connect with communities

  • Dive into a topic or issue you’re passionate about and explore career opportunities

  • Learn more about power, privilege, identity, and systems of oppression through community engagement

  • Receive mentorship and coaching from UCBI mentors and nonprofit/public sector leaders

  • Engage in professional development opportunities and build your network with your cohort and partner organization

  • Earn a stipend ($2000/quarter) for your work
