Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS)Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS) is a broad-based alumni initiative which, in collaboration with partner non-profit organizations, creates and funds paid summer internships throughout the US for Princeton students. The program typically offers over 80 internships each summer, in areas of interest including group advocacy, legal services, public policy, health and social services, community development, education and the arts. The 8-10 week substantive internships are open to all Princeton undergraduates with most open to seniors, and provide the opportunity for students to explore potential careers in public service and the non-profit sector. Princeton alumni serve as partners to the student interns.
For complete application information and details, please visit the PICS website. Please direct questions to the PICS project coordinator, Evan Schneider, or to the PICS executive director, Jeri Schaeffer. |
I got to see first-hand a lot of the problems facing people who don’t always get much attention — the poor, the disabled and the undocumented. For me, there’s nothing more satisfying than knowing your actions contributed to aiding someone in their time of need. I am a sociology major and I’ve really grown as a thinker and a doer by combining sociology lessons with my internship experience. |
