Intern

The NYU Civic Team needs interns to help manage the service initiatives at our partner organizations. Your time will be spent in the Center for Student Activities, Leadership and Service and on location at the different offices or schools where the agencies require your assistance.

The NYU Civic Team interns commit to 10-15 hrs per week. As the specific duties of the interns will vary per site, some of the general expectations of the students through the program include, but are not limited to:

• Coordinating volunteers
• Assisting with office support
• Providing additional educational resources for volunteers
• Facilitating group reflections
• Participating in all Civic Team trainings
• Working with your team to develop a special project for your agency
• Attending all required events and programs for the Civic Team and your agency
• Maintaining in good standing with the University as a fully matriculated student
• Abiding by all agency, Student Activities, and New York University, guidelines, procedures, and policies
• Serving as an ambassador of the Civic Team, Student Activities, New York University, and your agency

As part of the Civic Team internship, students will receive training on various subject areas to ensure that they are well prepared to fully and effectively contribute to the organization and better meet the ever-changing needs of the New York City communities and non-profit sector in the current climate. We hope the internship position will provide greater assistance to the Civic Team agencies while providing an opportunity for students to learn, engage, and serve within our communities.
