Rainier Beach Community Engagement Intern
Join a dynamic team of South Seattle community activists who are working on meaningful projects that will impact the Rainier Beach community for years to come. The Detective Cookie Chess Park is the main project you will be focusing on. The Chess Park will serve as a tribute to Detective Cookie, a prominent Seattle policewoman who has been teaching chess to youth for a decade. The park will activate underutilized, open-air space for her chess club to meet, as well as providing a safe, free, public space for youth and adults from across cultures to meet and play chess at any time. The project has gone through the initial design phases and is in the permitting stage currently. Fundraising and community engagement will continue throughout the life of this project.
Work description
Day to day tasks would include:
Impact
By assisting with the Chess Park you will be providing an important project management role and will become familiar with the complexity of community based projects. Specifically, you will play an active role in moving the Chess Park towards construction.

Applications are LIVE for the 2018-19 cohort of the Husky Leadership Certificate program. We are seeking Huskies who practice leadership in a variety of ways. Our leaders are change-agents, entrepreneurs, scholars, activists, athletes, educators and more. This is your opportunity to reflect on your leadership development journey during your undergraduate education.
Through the Husky Leadership Certificate (HLC), students identify, articulate and demonstrate their leadership learning, growth and accomplishments. Students create a leadership e-portfolio and are matched with their own mentor (faculty member/staff member/alumni) who helps them reflect upon and give voice to their leadership development. Students must be a junior or senior to be considered.
Applicants will be notified by early December if they have been selected for the cohort and will then be matched with a mentor. All HLC students are required to take a 1-credit winter quarter course (available in-person or online) to support their portfolio development process. For more information, please visit the program website.
Please consider this unique opportunity for yourself and spread the word to other students who may be interested!
Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. on November 14. No late applications will be accepted.
APPLY NOW TO BE A PART OF THE 2018-19 HLC COHORT!
