The Centre offers internships and placements for students. These are a great opportunity to develop skills, gain experience working within a grassroots community based organisation. and learn about peace and justice theory and practice. Interns are involved in campaigning, networking, research, writing and administration. We identify a principle area of work or task that fits your interests and the needs of our programme. We ask that you review and sign on to our Values to ensure the P&J is a good fit for you. We cannot at present offer funding for interns.
Day to day tasks may include some administrative tasks such as updating subscriber and membership lists or adding Events to our online Calendar. With each intern we identify a principle role or piece of work and support you to carry that out. Here are some of the possible roles:
