Dear JoAnn,
Paid internships with the ILA are available throughout the year to graduate students, recent graduates, and undergraduates who have successfully completed at least one year of school. While internships begin and end on a rolling basis, a 4-month commitment of 16-30 hours a week of work (in the ILA office) is required; longer commitments are preferred.
While we are open to other internships, we are currently looking for a Research Intern to:

2.Support the ILA’s LinkedIn presence by approving postings, recruiting new members, and producing reports.
3.Work on other projects as assigned.
