Logistics

Orientation: Friday, May 24th

Duration of Internship: Students should complete a minimum of 270 total hours between May 20th and July 31st. Weekly classroom meetings and reflection work will be held on Fridays, starting May 24th and running through July 19th.

Stipend: Students will receive a stipend of between $2000 and $4000 for participation in the program.

Delivery of Application: Online application is the preferred form of delivery.
Application Procedure
- Applicants to the summer internships should read community partner job descriptions on the website at https://bit.ly/easlsummer. Please read the placement forms carefully for background on each internship and the skills requested by the community partner.
  Do not contact listed community partners directly. EASL staff will do an initial screening for the program.
- After selecting a compatible site (or sites), applicants should complete the Servant Leadership application below. The application includes two questions, one focused on commitment to the aims of the program and one focused on how the student’s interests match the specific placement. You may apply for up to two sites.
  If you choose to apply for more than one site, you must submit two (2) separate applications.
- “Build Your Own” While the partner job descriptions list organizations committed to accepting qualified interns, the program has connections with a large number of other organizations which also would welcome interns. Students with interests in areas not treated by the current partners are encouraged to write an application focusing on an area of particular interest and concern to them. Essays should identify clearly the organization or area of focus in which the student is interested. Students who already have an organization committed to accepting them as a summer intern will be accorded priority in this category.
- EASL staff will do the initial screening of applicants and finalists will be informed by Monday, March 18th. Interviews with Community Partners should be arranged during the remaining weeks of March, if possible. Community partners have final say on intern selection.
