Work-Study, Volunteer, and Intern Opportunities
The Lyson Center has a number of projects in which students and others may get involved. They could be short-term (a few hours) or longer-term (up to 6 months). We operate on a very small budget, and therefore most opportunities are unpaid, except through a college's work-study or intern program. However, they offer professional development opportunities, such as learning a new skill and networking with others in the food movement.
​
Please contact Duncan Hilchey if you are interested in any of the opportunities below. In all three cases, knowledge of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe Creative Suite, Wix, and/or any CMS is helpful. Excellent communications skills and self-direction are essential.
Work-Study
For a college student who has received a Federal Work-Study award. This position typically includes 5–12 paid hours of work weekly during the academic year and/or 30 paid hours weekly during the summer.
Volunteer
For non-work-study eligible students or those who seek an opportunity to spend a few hours a week or month doing tasks such as online research, graphic design, data entry, or website development.
Intern
Generally for a student or young professional looking for a more in-depth experience as an editor, social networker, or other program-related work.
