The goal of the UUCSJ Experiential Internship Equity Program is to support experiential learning opportunities in support of faithful justice organizing. We will provide support to UU-affiliated organizations interested in hosting learning interns but who don’t have the budget to pay a fair wage. Too often, we’ve seen organizations offer low or unpaid internships, often placing the learning opportunity out of reach for all but the most advantaged. UUCSJ believes, despite the temporary staffing nature of interns, they too deserve a fair wage. To that end, UUCSJ is offering stipends of $1,000 a month per intern for up to three months per fiscal year (July - June).

Learn more about this program at uucsj.org/internships. 

Eligibility Requirements
Organizations are invited to apply for this funding if they and/or their internship programs possess the following criteria:
  • Be UU-affiliated or UU-adjacent
  • Provide intern with engaging justice related tasks for a minimum of two months
  • Internships should be intentionally experiential, engaging, and reflective in nature
  • Agree to provide direct support to interns in the form of regular check-ins to speak about their learning, as well as any personal, spiritual, activism, and/or professional goals. For more information review our FAQs at uucsj.org/internships 
UUCSJ has a limited amount of funding for this program and thus not all qualifying requests may be funded during each fiscal year.
