Check Out Our Youth Space Summer Internship!
Black Organizing Project is hosting our 2016 Youth Space Summer Leadership Development Internship for youth ages 12 – 18. The internship will be held from June 21, 2016 – July 30, 2016 in which all of our youth interns will be paid a stipend.
At BOP, we believe in investing in our youth. Through this internship we are striving to build stronger unity within the Black community, by developing leadership skills and the capacity of youth voices. We will engage in fun, interactive activities, learn new skills and reflect on how to bring resources back to our larger community. We expect all qualified members to actively participate and engage in all workshops and all group building activities. Some of the workshops include:
- Community Organizing
- Leadership Development
- Political Education
- Black Economics
- Healing Circles
All qualified applicants are expected and required to participate in an interview process. If accepted, a BOP member will contact you to inform you of your acceptance into the program. Upon acceptance, there will be a mandatory orientation for both parents/guardians and youth interns. The orientation date will be Saturday, June 18, 2016 from 11am – 1pm. If you are unable to make this date, please communicate ahead of time and a BOP staff member will coordinate with you.
