Position Overview:
The Public Space Management (PSM) Program works with residents, organizations, and businesses to enhance neighborhoods, strengthen communities, enliven public spaces, and promote economic vitality through the use and management of the public right-of-way. Examples of our work include temporarily closing residential streets for play and recreation, outdoor dining patios in the curb space, and the countless food trucks serving hungry customers along our city streets and sidewalks.
We are seeking an undergraduate or graduate college intern for a year-long internship to support the Program Development team within PSM in building greater awareness and increasing the public’s use of our permits. The intern will accomplish this by assisting with a combination of creating a suite of outreach/ education materials, planning and delivering outdoor events, and program evaluation and analysis. The intern will also have the opportunity to work with and learn from other Public Space Management teams and workgroups, including inspections and permit review. Successful candidates will be creative, curious and will want to engage with different communities across Seattle, especially those that are historically disadvantaged, underserved, and/or underrepresented.
Educational Benefit:
Students will be challenged to think critically about how we use our public spaces to meet multiple and sometimes competing needs and will gain an understanding of the equity issues that accompany this work. Students will also learn concepts and characteristics related to the creation of walkable and accessible communities by participating in delivering other SDOT projects and programs that include public space elements and pedestrians’ safety.
This includes identifying locations and opportunities around the creation of mobility hubs, making waiting for transit a more enjoyable experience, and reducing pollution from noise and carbon emissions. Other skills development may include:
