[UrbanStudiesCircular] URBST 307 - NYPIRG Internship
by urbanstudiescircular＠lists.qc.cuny.edu 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

The Urban Studies Department offers an elective (URBST 307) that give students 3 course credits for interning with NYPIRG! NYPIRG will work on a number of major campaigns each semester, each with a set of semester-long goals and long-term objectives. The projects we work on will include a range of organizing opportunities including planning events, working in coalitions, performing outreach and education, and receiving media coverage for the issue. Through these activities, interns will not only learn about the issue area they are working on, but they will learn public speaking, time management, persuasive speaking, research, advocacy, and writing skills as well. Consequently, our interns graduate with fuller resumes, endless resources, and great recommendations! Through this internship, you will make a positive impact on your life in school, as well as in your community. Requirements? Activity Hours: 120 Activity hours are your prime opportunity for hands on experience doing organizing work, and you are required to keep at least 8 activity hours a week or a total of 120 hours by the end of the semester. In the NYPIRG office you will be able to meet with us about your projects, as well as make calls, research issues, create materials (flyers, banners, costumes, etc.), build and maintain coalitions, and prepare for events. In completing the 120 hours, interns are requiredto commit some of their hour work to the following requirements: ? Conduct 8 class announcements (i.e. "class raps") ? Participate in eight tabling events ? Attend at least three NYPIRG events ? Plan and attend Campaign Kickoff ? Coordinate at least 2 events ? Attend two citywide or statewide events (a lobby day, public hearing, or news conference, statewide student action conference, for example) ? Phonebank for at least two events Weekly Workshops All interns must attend weekly workshops, [location and time TBA]. Chapter Meetings All interns must attend weekly chapter meetings, SU LL-36, Wed. 12:15. Conclusion: This may seem like a lot of work, but you will see as the semester goes on that everything will fall into place. Participating in student activism for credit can be a lot of fun, and the time can fly by! We want you to enjoy this class and take what you learn from it into your life. Your Project Coordinator should be utilized as a resource. We will work to give you plenty of support in your endeavors throughout the NYPIRG internship.
