The Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at UW is proud to announce the third annual Building A Movement (BAM) Labor Internship, a paid internship program that connects undergraduate students at the University of Washington with the local labor movement.
Students who are invested in labor and social justice advocacy are given the opportunity to explore how organizations work to make systemic and community-level changes for the benefit of working people.
There will be an Information Session on Friday, November 18th, from 3pm to 4:30pm to provide students with an overview of the program, address questions, and provide space for students to solicit feedback on their applications. Register for the Information session HERE [washington.zoom.us].
