From Colin Hall, NYPIRG:

NYPIRG is recruiting interns for the Spring ‘23 semester. This on campus internship provides students with the opportunity to work on a number of major campaigns. The projects we work on will include a range of organizing opportunities including planning events, working in coalitions, performing outreach and education, and receiving media coverage for the issue. Through these activities, interns will not only learn about the issue area they work on, but they will learn public speaking, time management, persuasive speaking, research, advocacy, and writing skills as well. Consequently, our interns graduate with fuller resumes, endless resources, and great recommendations! Through this internship, students will make a positive impact on their school, as well as in their community.

Right now we are looking to hire 4-6 Interns to become project leaders/ co-leaders for the following Issues:

Environmental Protection

Democracy

Mass Transit

Consumer Justice

Higher Education (Co-lead)

Hunger & Homelessness (Co-lead)

If interested, please email Colin Hall at [email protected] and attach a copy of your resume.

We have just opened a new section for an online course on digital mapping this spring semester, GEG 212 Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS): GEG 212-D002 (57539).

If you know of any students who might be interested in or who could benefit from learning how to make digital maps, including election maps, maps for social justice or climate justice, or learning about mapping and cartography as methods for social science research, please help share the course information.

This course is tailored for beginners (no previous mapping knowledge required). Students work on weekly mapping projects engaging in different topics or case studies, including U.S. elections, unhoused communities or homelessness in NYC, the uneven geographies of the global pandemic, redlining, among many others.

Many students who have completed this intro course have secured paid internships working with professional GIS teams at the NYC Parks and Recreation and Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For questions or more information about the course, please feel free to reach out.
