HOW TO HELP FIGHT WORKER EXPLOITATION
KIWA welcomes interns and volunteers from concerned members of the community. College students can intern for class credit and law school interns in particular are needed to help do research on campaigns. Spanish-speakers are always desired to help communicate with workers.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING INTERNSHIPS
Description: Interns at KIWA are given an honest look at the functioning of a progressive workers center. KIWA interns are assigned to work on campaigns giving them experience in the areas of research, direct-action organizing, worker outreach, coalition building and strategy making. KIWA tries to integrate interns into the staff of organizers and case managers by immediately immersing the intern into the community and putting them to work. It is a unique experience and one that many interns find as a "stepping stone" to continue working for justice.
Hours: Flexible but 6-10 hours per week are recommended. Willingness to work some evenings and weekends necessary.
Experience: Knowledge of social justice movements needed. Experience in organizing low-wage industry and knowledge of Los Angeles preferred but not necessary.
Language: KIWA functions in three languages--English, Spanish, and Korean. Any combination of these languages are highly preferred.
*****This internship is unpaid.******
How do I get started? Arrange an informal interview.
