Think Outside the Bottle Campaign Internship
WHO? Concerned about the environment?
Public health? Human rights? Corporate power? Looking for an engaging and
empowering internship this winter? We are currently seeking winter interns and
volunteers on our Think
Outside the Bottle Campaign challenging corporate control of
water.
WHAT? Interns will play a vital role in the implementation of a new
phase of our campaign calling on National Parks to think outside the
bottle. Coke, Nestle, and Pepsi are using one national treasure (our parks) to
profit from another (our water) by selling and promoting bottled water in our
nation’s most beloved places. It’s time for our national parks to go bottled
water free. National parks can protect the environment and send a clear
message: Water, like our parks, is not for sale, and deserves our long-term
investment. San Francisco interns will engage in organizing, media work, and
coalition building to call on the iconic Yosemite National Park and Golden Gate
Recreation Area to go bottled water free.
WHEN? This position runs from now-early
April, for 10-20 hours per week (hours are negotiable). We are seeking
interns to operate out of a relaxed office
in downtown San Francisco, with some
fieldwork throughout the city. Current student standing is not necessary.
We also have volunteer opportunities for those interested in the campaign but
not looking for the full commitment of an internship. Want to find out more? Fill out our interest form. To apply directly, send
your resume to alyse@greencorps.org. Questions? Call Alyse at 303 929 8448.

Summer 2013: Urban Marginality in Paris, France (Arrupe Social Justice Immersion Program)
Immersion dates: May 20-31, 2013
This 2-unit course will explore urban marginality in Paris,
France and its suburbs (Banlieues). We will examine a variety of topics, from
French colonial history to current immigration trend(s), ethnic statistics
policy and unemployment in order to frame a larger discussion on diversity,
poverty and exclusion in France. Through participation in social activities
with underprivileged youth and discussions with social workers, students will
observe and analyze social and cultural inequalities affecting disintegrated
communities, reflect on personal implications, and then support efforts to change
the status quo from within. Concurrent exploration of French culture (museums,
etc.), business etiquette, and survival French will allow for cultural
comparisons in such a way as to broaden a reflection on diversity and treatment
of minorities, two key elements of a European identity still in the making. No
knowledge of French Required. Deadline to apply is March 18. For
more information, contact Professor Gaëlle Corvaisier (corvaisier@usfca.edu)
