Interns will work directly with their academic advisors and the staff of the Robert H. Jackson Center to determine their projects. Projects will reflect the skills and interests of the intern and the needs of the Jackson Center – including research, web design, content creation for newsletters, blogs, webinars, podcasts, social media and the website, program development, videography, archival and resource organization, and translation.

Summer interns work between Memorial Day and Labor Day for a period of 10 weeks on a schedule that will be agreed upon between the intern and the Center president. (We anticipate the 10-weeks running from June 2 to August 8, 2025, but are willing to work with student athletic/academic schedules.) The president serves as a “coach” and there are regular opportunities to meet with all staff members on a range of issues and topics pertaining to the intern’s assignments and interests. Interns also provide tours of the Jackson Center.

The Robert H. Jackson Center does not provide housing, however previous interns have arranged for housing privately or through Jamestown Community College. We can facilitate those connections.
