Fall 2018 – DisabledVeterans.org Internship For College Credit
Journalism & Content Writer Internship For Credit
This is an unpaid internship for college credit that is for veterans using their GI Bill or Vocational Rehabilitation benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. It is located outside the Twin Cities in Minnesota and is remote unless the veteran is in the local area. This means veterans from around the country can participate so long as their college allows unpaid internships for credit.
Interested candidates should submit a brief application below and check with their college or university to see if internship of this type is allowed. The internship is through my company Armo Press, LLC, and its publication DisabledVeterans.org.
Interim Overview (subject to change)
We are looking for aspiring writers, researchers, policy wonks, and anyone else interested in learning to research and write about issues impacting veterans on a daily basis. If that description fits you, you may want to apply as an intern for this unpaid internship to join our editorial team for a semester while you earn college credit at your university.
You will help us enrich our websites with new blog posts, guides, and marketing copy. You will work on regular projects that will culminate into a research paper by the end of the term as your final project. Each college or university may have unique requirements to satisfy standards for credit.
