Internships Available!

New Hour for Women and Children LI seeks a college intern to help with direct service and advocacy. Learn to engage with vulnerable populations and make lifelong connections to engage with women and mothers impacted by the justice system. Students will have the opportunity to forge connections with members of the community who are often overlooked, including children of an incarcerated parent who possess tremendous potential. Some interns will be trained to attend workshops in the local jails by the second semester of their internship.


Expectations: 


New Hour will continue to need support with activities and events organized to empower women, mothers, and children impacted by the criminal justice system. This internship will also offer opportunities to foster relationships with community organizations, tabling events and ensuring that New Hour is a presence at local community functions. Responsibilities include providing logistical support for events and for administrative office support, as well as interacting with children and moms. A minimum of 10 to 15 hours per week required. Graduate students only, must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, and demonstrate strong writing skills and interpersonal skills. Transportation is required.
