El Centro’s Internship is offered and sponsored by the community studies department. It is a great way for new and continuing students to develop a sense of awareness with UCSC’s Chicano Latino community and mass diversity surrounding it. Students work on an independent study course while gaining pre-professional experience and contributing to the Chicano Latina/o community efforts! This internship allows students to plan events, gain experience in formulating publications, and discover outreach techniques that make a difference. As well as, being able to experience a variety of diverse events, and consequently become more attuned with their culture. Students have the choice to apply for a 2 or 5 unit internship. The 2-unit internship requires a 5-hour a week commitment throughout the quarter. The 5 unit requires a 10 hour a week commitment (This is including events and preparations). There are also mandatory trainings that the applicant must attend along with the completion of a final course paper (The content of the final course paper will be discussed at the end of the quarter.).
