Make up to $3500 over the school year!
What is Youth Initiated Projects (YIP)? YIP gives cash and support to youth-led projects, programs and campaigns across SF. A group of young people (the YIP Board) leads YIP and gives out the funds. YIP is a program of the Youth Leadership Institute (YLI), San Francisco Peer Resources, and the San Francisco Youth Commission.
What does the YIP Intern do? The YIP intern works with YIP staff and the YIP Review Board. The intern reaches out to youth-led groups across the city, represents YIP in the community, supports the YIP Review Board, and connects with groups that YIP funds. The YIP intern helps out with YIP paperwork, YIP events, and gets an opportunity to do a special project of their choice. YIP staff will provide ongoing training and support to the intern.
What’s the time commitment? 8-12 hours per week in afternoons, evenings and some Saturdays. The internship starts in September 2004, and ends in June 2005.
How much does the intern get paid? Interns get paid a “stipend” (a lump sum) about 4X a year, but it comes out to about $10/hour.
Who can apply? Anyone ages 16-23 who lives in SF. We are looking for someone who wants to help out their community; likes speaking in front of groups; can work with youth and adults from different backgrounds, is organized; and is willing to learn. Experience with Microsoft Word & Excel is helpful. Young people of color strongly encouraged to apply.
