The Public Service Internship (PSI) program connects students with Bay Area social justice issues through internships that focus on policy, community organizing, or direct service. Students intern for 8-10 hours a week for the academic year and enroll in a field studies course for units. Student interns also meet as a cohort throughout the year to build leadership and professional skills and explore social change strategies.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, we are honored to collaborate with the the following community partners: 

• Berkeley Unified School District – Sustainability Program
• East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation
• East Bay Sanctuary Covenant
• Oakland Literacy Coalition
• Oakland Unified School District – McKinney Vento Program
• City of San Pablo
• Somos Familia
• UC Berkeley Government and Community Relations
