Network Internship
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intern with the Mexico Solidarity Network
The Mexico Solidarity Network has opening for an internship in our
Chicago office. The internship includes some of the following:
1. Organize and travel on a two-week speaking tour. Each tour features a member of a Mexican social movement, including indigenous rights movements, human rights, urban housing movements, campesino movements and community work in Ciudad Juarez. The intern will
schedule events at US universities and community-based groups, then travel on the tour as logistical coordinator, and speak at events on topics including the Mexico Solidarity Network and the history of the speaker.
2. Work in the Albany Park Autonomous Center. The Autonomous Center is located in one of Chicago's largely immigrant neighborhoods, where we work with the Latino Spanish-speaking population. Interns will work with community members to facilitate English classes, political workshops, video nights, fiestas and cultural events.
3. Work in the Alternative Economy program promoting distribution of artisanry produced by Zapatista women's cooperatives.
4. If the applicant has experience with web design, some of her/his work will be on the Mexico Solidarity Network web site.
The successful applicant has the following characteristics:
1. Fluency or near fluency in English and Spanish.
2. Ability to communicate across cultures.
3. Experience in community organizing and/or ESL classes.
4. Self-starter.
5. Minimum six month commitment.
This is a dynamic, fast-paced internship. Interns assume full responsibility for projects under their direction. The position does not include fundraising and very little administrative work. You won't be pushing papers or doing busy work. You will be part of a growing anti-capitalist community-based organization with a strong critique of neoliberalism. Interns are paid $500 per month plus housing, or $900 without housing.
Applicants can send resumes, a short writing sample, and dates of availability to MSN@MexicoSolidarity.org.
