Organizational Overview: 

The New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault (the Alliance) is a non-profit in the city whose mission is to prevent sexual violence and reduce the harm it causes through education, research and advocacy. 

Background and Role: 

The Alliance serves all five boroughs and works closely with rape crisis programs, hospitals, District Attorney’s Office, New York City Police Department and city leaders to develop and implement best practices in the treatment of and response to sexual assault survivors.  The Alliance is also a Regional Center for Sexual Assault Prevention, and works within communities, colleges and universities, and nightlife establishments on trainings to prevent occurrences of sexual violence. 

In 2015, the New York Governor signed Education Law Article 129-B, otherwise known as Enough is Enough (EIE). Through this law, 52 agencies in NY State, including the Alliance, received automatic funding to conduct services and education to NYS colleges and universities. The Alliance’s Campus Program houses the Campus Training Institute (CTI), which provides training to approximately 12-15 campus partners on trauma-informed and survivor-centered response services, as well as intersectional community-based primary and secondary prevention work. In addition to CTI, the Campus Program also encompasses a student fellowship program entitled: The Collegiate Changemaker Fellowship. This intern will report to the Senior Campus Coordinator and support them with strategic campus programming, volunteer coordination, workshop facilitation, and advocacy.  

We are seeking a talented, dedicated student intern who can support our statewide campus sexual violence prevention initiatives including administrative support for our fellowship program, workshop facilitation, and research. The internship will have a flexible hybrid schedule where 80% of the work will be virtual and 20% will be in-person. We can also provide necessary documentation for school credit to support students in this way if available and desired.
