NYPIRG is looking for interns for the fall 2024 semester. NYPIRG has an office on the City Tech campus, but the work will be a mix of in-person and remote work – within the office, at home, and at locations around and near campus. We have had COMD students work with them in the past and it has been a positive experience. This is not a paid internship but you will earn academic credit if you are enrolled in COMD 4900 this semester.

If you are not familiar with NYPIRG, see their website or their Instagram. They are a student-led public advocacy group committed to advocating for student issues, environmental protection, voting rights, fixing the MTA, and many other issues.

According to NYPIRG, students will learn about grassroots organizing techniques and new digital tools used to support social movements holistically, forming narratives and messaging through graphic design, video production, or other specialties based on their interests. Students will learn key public speaking and community outreach skills hands-on, then use those skills to plan and execute a semester-long campaign on important issues affecting students, culminating in an in-person event like last year’s Hygiene and Menstrual Product Drive and March in March for Higher Education. 

Responsibilities will include: 

• Outreach work: Talking to students about the issues and getting them involved, including voter registration; working on public-facing writing such as letters to local newspapers and web copy
• Organizing work: Leading one of our campaigns on issues like Public Health and Mass Transit, including attending regular Project Leader Zoom meetings and organizing events and/or presentations
• Design work: Creating social media graphics, posters, videos, websites, and other materials to inform students and promote events

Membit Inc. is looking for several students to learn how to use the new, exciting medium of augmented reality (AR) to create experiences in the real world and leave them behind for other people to find. Think of it as ‘pokemon go but for whatever you want’. 

Examples of Membit past projects:

Membit is currently working with a local nonprofit, Santuary Spaces, that is focused on telling the stories of Brooklyn in the neighborhoods near CityTech, specifically Bedford-Stuyvesant and Viniger Hill / Dumbo. 

Part of the internship will be working on creating Augmented Reality and part of it will be about publicizing these experiences through social media and other means. 

NO Coding needed!  Membit is all no-code and you create on the phone, so anyone that is reasonably good with a smart phone can learn to do it, and you will also get to create your own projects as you learn how to think about spacial communication. 

This position is not paid but if you are enrolled in COMD 4900 for Fall or Spring, you will earn credits and you will work directly with the CEO of the company who previously taught at CityTech for 10 years.  In addition, It does come with 1 free private channel to each intern, so they can create an AR experience for their own portfolio to show people, and assistance in creating that.  Please send your resume, cover letter and portfolio link to  jay@membit.co and put internship in the subject line.
