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
