Please apply no later than May 1, 2001. Since 1996, the AFL-CIO's Union Summer Program has been on the front lines fighting for social and economic justice. The program has graduated over 2,000 interns who have intensified the level of activism on college campuses from coast to coast and who have gone on to become powerful agents of social change. Union Summer sites are located all over the country. This summer YOU can spend 4 exciting weeks with workers, students and other activists agitating, educating, empowering and organizing for workers' rights, respect and fair treatment in communities and workplaces all over the country.
Interns are responsible for getting themselves to and from their location.
The AFL-CIO Organizing Institute is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of working people and their families by recruiting and training union organizers. We are a paid training and job placement program that helps match committed activists with unions expanding their organizing programs. We provide a 3 day workshop, paid field training and job placement for new union organizers. We have upcoming trainings in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, D.C. and other cities nationwide.
