UCLA Department of History and Public History Initiative
In collaboration with the University of California, Los Angeles, the Museum of Social Justice provides opportunities for students to develop practical skills, gain meaningful experience, and cultivate professional relationships, while providing important contributions to the diverse community that is Los Angeles. At this time all internships are unpaid.
Students from UCLA interested in interning at the Museum of Social Justice should contact the museum directly. After an interview, if there is a match they are accepted into the program. UCLA History students (undergraduate or graduate) interested in receiving course credit for interning at the Museum of Social Justice should apply simultaneously to HistoryCorps–a project of the UCLA Department of History in collaboration with the UCLA Center for Community Learning. HistoryCorps students must have Junior or Senior standing with a minimum of 3.25 GPA and should commit to work on history-related projects as part of their internship. HistoryCorps interns must commit to a minimum of 80 hours over the course of the internship as well as complete the course readings and paper. To learn more about the program, visit the Public History Initiative.
