FSU Civil Rights Institute Internship Fund

FSU Civil Rights Institute Internship Support

Help us empower budding student leaders with the skills needed to effect social change through a paid internship at the FSU Civil Rights Institute. Our interns actively participate in civil rights activities, interacting with local and national civil rights figures in the fight for social justice. Previous interns have assisted in planning for CRI programs, including events with artists Michael Rosato and Ted Ellis, author and academic Dave Tell, and Florida prison reform activist Desmond Meade.

In the coming year, the Civil Rights Institute intern will: 

  • Research collections on civil rights history to create exhibits, programs, and public marketing materials
  • Help to plan programs and events
  • Attend community meetings and assist with large-scale projects (including with the City of Tallahassee and Florida A&M University)
  • Manage social media accounts

Your gift will enable us to provide a salary for a part-time intern in the 2021-2022 academic year.
