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.
PSI interns and supervisors, fall 2019

“I am proud of finding ways to contribute to broader efforts, such as the Contra Costa County Jail Fight, which we won. I learned a lot of what could be called “meta skills,” skills that enable other skills to be developed.”
