Service Learning Internships

The service learning internship track matches students with local community organizations. Each student will gain hands on experience while working with community leaders on different campaigns or projects with a local or statewide focus on bringing social and economic justice to working families in Florida.

“After taking the Intro to Labor Studies course, I became very passionate about social injustices in my community. I wanted to be engaged in what was happening in my community and, at the same time, get credit for it, so I enrolled in the service learning internship. During my Fall semester, I worked with Miami-Dade’s Small Business Development Agency, where I helped employees and employers conciliate unpaid wages. In the Spring semester, I worked with Americans for Immigrant Justice, where I worked with undocumented detainees, helping them learn about their rights. These Social Justice Internships have helped me acquire workplace skills, meet other advocates, and, most importantly, provide an outlet to pursue my passion for social justice within my community. These experiences have been invaluable! In fact, having these internships under my belt strengthened my law school application!” —Linda interned at Americans for Immigrant Justice and Intern at Miami-Dade’s Small Business Development, 2011.
