Internships

PJS 99 Internships in Social Change Organizations provides a joint internship and seminar course designed to help students think deeply about what personal role they have in raising concerns and how to work effectively with others to change how societies organize and conduct social, economic, and political lives. Two thematic approaches are offered:

In the fall semester, PJS/IR 99: "Transnational Social Movements: Strategies for Peace, Human Rights, Development, and Environment." And in the Spring, PJS/CIS 99: "Internships for Public Service, Social Responsibility, and Active Citizenship."

If you are a PJS major or Certificate candidate, we require you to complete the internship seminar with a social change or public interest organization to learn more about citizen advocacy and social movement organizing.

If you are not currently enrolled in PJS but are still interested in the internship and seminar, please contact Dale Bryan for approval at dale.bryan@tufts.edu.
