Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee Research Institute Anthony Shadid Internship Program
The ADCRI intern program offers a variety of positions for leadership development. It educates students on issues of civil rights, the Arab heritage, and current events in the Middle East. It empowers them to educate others. Students gain practical training in community organizing, media relations, research and writing, legal issues, political action, educational outreach, and routine office work alongside our regular professional staff. The first few weeks of the summer program are centered on the annual ADC Convention in June.
Positions are available with the legal, organizing, education, media and publications, information systems, and government relations departments, as well as with the offices of the ADC President and the Chief Administrative Officer. ADC can also assist with internships at the U.S. State Department, although we cannot guarantee placement.
Summer internships: During the summer, up to 15 internships are available at the national office. The 11-week internships are full-time positions. We are asking interns to start as early in May as possible after the school ends. There is a $1500 stipend for undergraduates and $2000 for graduate students. Those who receive course credit do not receive a stipend.
Semester Internships: Internships carry a small stipend. Full-time interns receive $400/month for undergraduates and $500 for graduate and law students. Volunteer positions for course credit are available during the academic year and are arranged on a case-by-case basis. Interns receiving course credit do not receive a stipend. Work hours can be accommodated to student class schedules. Applications are normally due at the end of November, early December.

as effective CHANGE advocates. They are introduced to social
justice issues directly related to Oxfam America's mission, and
are asked to work on one or more of these issues on their campus
during the academic year. Oxfam assumes the cost of training,
room and board, and travel.
