Thursday, May 06 2010 @ 10:35 AM
are the internship positions in the DC office of SOA Watch
(click on the title for a detailed description) Internships last for two to four months and interns commit to a certain number of hours per week. The minimum commitment is 20 hours per week; 32-40 hours per week is most common. Interns become a full member of the SOA Watch staff during their internship. All staff responsibilities are expected of interns, such as participating in weekly staff meetings and sharing in the facilitation and note-taking of these meetings. By the same token, these interns are given the same decision-making power as a staff person. These interns have input into her/ his job description and work. In other words, an invitation to join SOA Watch in one of these three internship roles is an invitation to join the staff collective. The internship program is generally very flexible and can be shaped for each person. An important part of the work environment is participating in the collective process and supporting each other in our work. SOA Watch November Organizing Internship in Washington, DCSOA Watch is seeking a full-time intern for a four to five-month period this fall. The autumn season is an exciting and busy time in the DC office as we prepare for the November Vigil to close the SOA/ WHINSEC at the gates of Fort Benning in Georgia.Being an intern at SOA Watch means becoming part of the staff, which is made up of paid, unpaid, full-time and part-time activists who are all dedicated to the work of the organization: standing in solidarity with the people of the Americas, working to close the SOA/ WHINSEC and changing US foreign policy. Interns have input into their job descriptions and work. A little less than half of the intern's time will be spent doing the general administrative work that all office staff participate in. These duties include answering the phone, responding to e-mail requests, going to the post office, etc. The intern's share of these duties will be no more than any other staff member. The focus of the fall internship is the organizing work for the November vigil. For more information, contact Mike Baney in the SOA Watch at 202-234-3440 or mbaney(at)soaw.org. Please share this message with anyone you think might be interested in dedicating a few months to working with SOA Watch!
