The Building A Movement (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. Organizations that will be hosting and mentoring students during Spring 2021 include UW United Students Against Sweatshops, API Chaya and the Massage Parlor Outreach Program, Unite Here Local 8, and the Seattle COVID-19 Oral History Project.
Students will be compensated at a rate of $17/hr, which includes their hours spent working with their host organization (varies per organization) and a weekly meeting with other BAM Labor Interns, and Yasmin Ahmed, HBCLS Assistant Director of Student and Community Engagement.
The applications for the BAM Labor Internship are open now, and must be submitted by Monday, March 22, at 12pm! Please visit https://labor.washington.edu/bam-labor-internship for more information and to apply!
