Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the return of the Youth Internship –a summer camp-esque flagship program of the JJSS that has run since 2015. The idea of the internship emerged when union members felt the need to invest in instilling values of equality and justice in the new generations. For years,  middle class youth from prestigious universities have been visiting the union for internships and to gain 'exposure'. In 2015, some of our union members suggested that we design an internship program for young people from our own villages, to give the marginalized youth of rural Bihar an opportunity to explore the world with a critical lens, build  understandings, forge friendships and solidarities across identities, geographies and lived experiences.

This internship is an unique opportunity for young people between the ages of 16-24 years to come together, make new friendships, learn new skills, find themselves and open their eyes to new ways of looking at the world. The annual residential intensive workshop is eagerly awaited by all in the union as it is a time where promising young people from the villages come together for month of fun, challenge and learning. Whether it be stepping out of the house for the first time or finding their own voice and learning to facilitate games for children across communities, or doing the important work of confronting our own biases of gender, caste, religion and class, this internship is a life changing experience for everyone involved. The internship will run from May 15 – June 15 '22. Selections are underway.

Running a month-long residential program requires resources and for that, we need YOUR help! Please help us make the internship happen. We need to raise nearly Rs. 2 lakhs. As in the past couple of years, the internship will be hosted at the Mosamat Budhiya Shiksha Nirman Sangathan (MBSNS) centre, a sisterly organisation of the JJSS. Please contact Tanmay (+91 8092118525) for more details.
