AFSCME has joined with Harvard University’s Labor and Worklife Program and the United Negro College Fund to give qualified college sophomores and juniors an opportunity to participate in a summer internship program with AFSCME as a way of learning more about the labor movement. Those who successfully complete the summer program are eligible for a scholarship for the following academic year from the United Negro College Fund. Participants will get an opportunity to do the day-to-day work of outreach to workers by phone and on home visits, campaign research and material development.

Additional information about the program, including minimum GPA, is available at the United Negro College Fund website or by calling Philip Allen at AFSCME headquarters at 202-429-1025. Applications should be submitted online, and must be received by February 28, 2012.
