Get Involved: Intake Internship

Join us for a Term!

We offer our Intake Internship in the Fall, Spring, and Summer. Undergraduate students interested in learning more about EOP and want to support its services and programming can partake in the Internship for academic units (1-2 units). This internship also qualifies under the Ethnic Studies Field Units requirement.

Intake Interns are an integral part of our EOP family! Throughout the term, students function as the first point of contact for the community and act as our EOP ambassadors. With our weekly seminar, students receive ongoing training to familiarize themselves with not just EOP resources and services, but with centers across the UC Berkeley campus as well. Intake Interns also participate in a wide range of programming, learning essential skills in facilitation, coordination, and of course providing peer-to-peer support!
