Summer 2024 Youth Services Intern (IINE Lowell)

The International Institute of New England is a 501(c)(3) non-profit serving refugees and immigrants in Boston, MA, Lowell, MA, and Manchester, NH. The Institute offers internships to students, graduate students, and recent graduates with demonstrated interest or experience in supporting refugee, asylee, and immigrant populations. Each internship includes an educational component, through which interns contextualize their experience and reflect on their service.

All internships are unpaid and correspond roughly with the US semester system:

* Summer Internship: late May/June through August 2024

(Applications requested by March 31st, considered thereafter until positions are filled)

First consideration is given to applicants that can commit at least 16 hours per week over the course of the semester outlined above. Applicants are encouraged to apply regardless of whether their schedule fits the semester system; IINE makes exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Slots fill quickly and candidates are encouraged to apply earlier than the requested date above.

Please note that this internship will be a hybrid format, meaning that some in-person hours at our Lowell, MA office are required.

Youth Services Internship Overview:

The International Institute of New Englands Youth Mentoring Program engages both refugee and US born youth between the ages of 15 and 24. The monthly mentoring meetings are conducted on a one-to-one basis and as a group during workshops or outdoor activities; with the support of trained volunteer mentors and external facilitators. Through mentoring, group workshops, individual case management or employment services -- youth are supported with the aim of setting and working towards achieving individualized goals. The Youth Services Intern will support in the recruitment process and enrollment of eligible youth if necessary; workshop implementation; and communication with either youths/families or mentors. The Youth Services Inter will also attend and support in the set-up of events, including arts and crafts, tutoring, ESOL support, yoga, sports events, and profession/personal development workshops.
