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 20-August 7, 2021, and the deadline to apply is Friday, May 7.

 

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.

 

An email announcement for Union Summer is below, and a flier is attached. Please circulate this to any students you think would be interested. Thank you!

The Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), located in Seattle, Washington, is part of a dynamic collaboration among three organizations known nationally and internationally for their patient care and research: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, University of Washington, and Seattle Children’s. Over the past 25 years, these institutions have worked together to support their mission of adult and pediatric oncology patient care services, research and education.

 

Governor Inslee recently announced the roll out of COVID-19 vaccine Phase 1B Tier 1, which includes people over 65 and/or people 50 years and older living in multigenerational households. The scale of this vaccine roll-out is unprecedented—SCCA has more than 16,000 patients 65 and older—and we are working around the clock to get an online scheduling system up and running. In the meantime, we are taking two steps to get first dose shots in arms. Thanks to our joint work with our Fred Hutch partners, we will be able to vaccinate as many as 500 people per day at the Fred Hutch/SCCA Vaccination Site.

Elizabeth Gregory Home (EGH) is a University District Street Medicine (UDSM) site that is seeking to develop a regular list of volunteers for an outreach clinic. EGH serves unhoused women with a day center, transitional housing, and case management. UDSM seeks to support their strong program by offering on-site limited medical services to womxn seeking support and referrals.

Volunteer opportunities will be a goal of twice per month, on Sundays from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM. All volunteers for this site must identify as womxn due to the restrictions at this site. This is a wonderful and rewarding place to volunteer regularly, with staff that know the womxn they serve well, and long term relationships. Please respond with interest 🙂

Additionally, we are looking for one additional women-identifying leader to serve as a co-outreach manager along with Kendall. This would require committing to attending one outreach clinic per month and helping to coordinate the preceptor and volunteers.

If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, you can email Mary Mathison at mmathis@uw.edu.
