PAID INTERNSHIP program- College Corps@the Beach

Internships open many doors for student job placements and other career and educational opportunities: in fact, students with internship experience are more likely to be invited for job interviews post-graduation.  We know, however, that for many CSULB students who need part-time jobs and financial aid to pay for college, unpaid internships are almost impossible to complete.  

 That’s why we are very excited about a new CSULB PAID internship program—College Corps@the Beach, an internship program with positions focused on climate change and environmental justice; food insecurity; and K-12 education as it relates to climate literacy.  

 We hope that you will apply!  Read on for program details, check out the attached flyer, and attend an Information Session to hear more.  Applications are due May 1, 2022.  To apply complete this online application.  Visit the program website at https://www.csulb.edu/college-corps

 Students selected for College Corps@the Beach will: 

  • Commit to a two-semester internship (fall 2022 & spring 2023) during which they will complete 450 hours of meaningful work. This breaks down to about 12-15 hours a week. 
  • Enroll in a 3-unit internship course during the fall 2022 semester. 
  • Attend professional development trainings and workshops. 
  • Connect with other interns across the state via a virtual community platform and regional events. 
  • Receive up to $7,000 toward living expenses (paid out in monthly installments) and a $3,000 educational award at the completion of their 450 hours that can be used to pay off education loans or put toward future educational expenses (e.g., tuition, books). 

   Students from all colleges and majors are encouraged to apply, including AB540 students and those who are first in their families to go to college. Priority will be given to students who demonstrate a financial need.
