Community Change is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote racial justice and equity by challenging systemic racism and acting as a catalyst for anti-racist learning and action.CCI makes visible and challenges the historical and ongoing role racism plays in the institutions that shape all of our lives. We focus particularly on involving white people in understanding and confronting systemic racism and white privilege. We understand racism as a system that impacts every area of life in the United States from education to law, from housing to transportation, from employment to media, from religion to artistic expression.
In 1989, CCI created the Civil Rights Internship program to engage high school, college, and graduate students in summer-long anti-racist work. Since then, scores of young scholars and activists have participated in the Internship Program. They have summer, fall, and spring internships available.
They usually have room for 1 or 2 interns. The internship starts at the end of September and goes until the end of the student's semester. They also allow students to do year-long internships. Usually students have broadly the same goals as the summer interns, but they have less of a time commitment, around 8-12 hours a week, depending on their schedule. The internship is very education-focused, and the interns will also help with organizing events and other non-profit tasks.
