Announcing: Prison Education Program internship applications open for our internship for the upcoming year! Applications are due April 5th by 11:59pm
The University of Oregon’s Prison Education Program is opening applications for our 2024-2025 internship. Our interns help us with all elements of our program, providing support for classes inside the prisons, distance learning, campus events, communication, research, logistics support, etc. We are seeking students who are passionate about this kind of work, will be flexible in a changing work environment, have the emotional maturity to work in difficult spaces, work as a team but also be able to do independent projects, and are able to abide by a range of rules that make our work possible. We encourage traditional and non-traditional students and people with lived experience with the justice system to apply. You must be a current, full-time UO student graduating Spring 2025 or later (current freshmen-juniors are welcome). Experience in an Inside-Out class is highly preferred but not required. Unfortunately, Graduate students with GE appointments cannot be program interns.
Interns receive a stipend of $500 per term. Required weekly program meetings are held 8:00-9:30am either Monday or Friday.
If you are interested, please apply here. A more detailed description of the position is also in the application.
