Dear students,
The CUNY Cultural Corps is currently accepting applications. The deadline is April 5. They’re holding an information tomorrow (see below).
The CUNY Cultural Corps funds and arranges paid internships: "Modeled after the CUNY Service Corps, which provides hundreds of CUNY students with paid work experience in civic-oriented jobs in community-based organizations and government agencies, the Cultural Corps aims to be a strong student pipeline for successful alumni into New York City’s arts and culture institutions.” You can see the organizations they partner with on their website.
All best,
Jason Tougaw
