2010 Internships to Support Refugees in Albany

We have a number of opportunities for community members to support refugees in a significant way by taking on an internship at the USCRI-Albany office. Internships are for a minimum of 8 hours per week for 12 weeks, but some positions require a longer commitment. Preference is given to applicants who can make a longer-term commitment.

To apply, please submit a resume and cover letter. Your cover letter should include the internship(s) or area(s) you are interested in, as well as the time frame and the number of hours per week you will be available. All internships are unpaid, but we are happy to support interns seeking college credit or outside funding for their work here.

Applications should be submitted to Jen Barkan, Resource Manager, at info@uscri-albany.org
