Hello,
My name is Edgar U. Espino, and I am the Campus Organizer at the Washington Bus. The Washington Bus is a statewide movement-building organization that increases the political power and participation amongst young people across Washington State and develops the next generation of leaders and organizers.
The Washington Bus Summer Fellowship is a ten-week paid political, social justice, political power-building, and organizing program for young people. The Fellowship is part-time and is open to 18-25-year-olds in Washington state. Fellows spend the summer organizing young people, working on issue campaigns, turning out the youth vote, and learning about social justice, power building, and politics in Washington state. Alumni leave the program having made an impact on Washington Bus campaigns, with the skills to make real change in their communities, and a network of Bus family and friends to support them beyond the program.
The Washington Bus Fellowship is a 20 hour a week, 10 week long program starting the week of June 13th, 2023. The final application deadline is Sunday, May 7th, 2022 at 11:59pm. Fellows are paid at a rate of $18.69 per hour over the course of the program or can opt to use that money as scholarship funds towards higher education (to be paid directly to the college/university).

If you can share this around with the faculty, students, and staff in your department, that would be highly appreciated! Additionally, If I could potentially come to and speak with a class regarding the internship and the organization as a whole, I'd love to connect with you sometime and discuss more in detail!
If you have any questions or would like to recommend someone to the program, you can respond to me at this email address or contact me via email at edgar@washingtonbus.org.
Best regards,
Edgar
