We take, on average, 15 student interns per semester.

CUNY TV offers internship opportunities only during the academic Fall and Spring semesters and only to CUNY full-time students. Federal Work-Study and Academic Credit Internships are available.

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
