Summer Fellowships and Internships
Lois and Robert Green Internship
The Urban Development and Social Change Program is pleased to offer a paid summer internship for a continuing Clark undergraduate student, made possible by a generous endowed fund established by Clark alumni Lois and Robert Green. The Intern will assist a Worcester City Councilor or the staff of a Worcester city government agency or non-profit organization with a variety of projects and activities aimed at addressing issues of concern to residents of Worcester. The stipend for the internship is $2,800 for six weeks of full-time work (35–40 hours per week) or part-time work over a longer period of time, beginning sometime in June or July. The starting and completion dates will be decided jointly by the internship supervisor and the intern. Additional information about the internship can be obtained from professor Sharon Krefetz in the Department of Political Science.
Eligibility
All current juniors, sophomores, and first-year students who will be continuing their studies at Clark next year are eligible for the internship. Students who have declared the UDSC concentration and/or have taken a UDSC course are especially urged to apply and will be given preference in the selection process; applications from other students are also welcome and will be given serious consideration.
