Interns:
Internships are offered to students seeking course credit for their work with the Jane Kopas Women's Center. The goals of the internship program include helping students engage in feminist praxis by applying knowledge learned in courses to the work we do, development of skills and knowledge related to our mission and goals, and preparing students for their future career through administrative tasks and event and program planning.
Interns tend to work about 10 hours per week. They serve as full members of the staff, attending staff meetings, leading at least one project, and participating in the planning and implementing of other events and programs offered by the Jane Kopas Women's Center.
We are now accepting applications for Spring 2023 interns! Submit your application to jkwc@scranton.edu as soon as possible for consideration.
Work Study:
The Work Study program under the Jane Kopas Women's Center is offered to students who qualify for federal work study aid and are looking to obtain skills they can apply in a future career. Work Study students are the backbone of the JKWC- students have the opportunity to implement feminist theory into practice through educational programs.
