Union Summer - Paid Labor Internship

 

Scholarship info Labor

Union Summer is a seven week, fully paid internship in the Seattle area that provides experiences in the daily work of labor unions, from member engagement to political campaigns, as well educational days focused on labor history and other topics. The program runs from June 27-August 5, 2022, and the deadline to apply is Friday, May 13.
 
We can't recommend this enough - Union Summer has long been a door for UW students to find employment in organized labor and related fields. Many UW alums have found long-term opportunities through the program. At the very least, it is a great hands on opportunity in the day-to-day work of building a movement for social justice.
