Building A Movement (BAM) Labor Internship Applications DUE March 21st / Bridges Center Scholarships are open!

Building A Movement Labor Internship - DUE March 21st!

The Bridges Center will be hosting new positions for the Building A Movement (BAM) Labor Internship. The BAM Labor Internship is a paid internship program that connects undergraduate students at the University of Washington with the local labor movement, through partnerships with community organizations engaged with this work on a variety of levels. Students who are invested in labor and social justice advocacy are given the opportunity to explore how organizations work to make systemic and community-level changes for the benefit of working people, and make meaningful contributions to that process. 

Students will be compensated at a rate of $18/hr, which includes their hours spent working with their host organization (varies per organization) and a weekly meeting with other BAM Labor Interns and Bridges Center staff. 

The application is currently LIVE and will remain open until Monday, March 21st, 2022, 11:59pm. Application instructions and a link to the application form is available at: https://labor.washington.edu/BAM
