HOST ORGANIZATIONS

Perspective interns should apply with interest in the specific positions offered by our 2024 partner host organizations: The Prison+Neighborhood Arts/Education Project (P+NAP) or R.E.A.L. Youth Initiative ("REAL"). Learn more about the host organizations and their internships here.

The Prison + Neighborhood Arts/Education Project (PNAP) is a visual arts and education project that connects teaching artists and scholars to incarcerated students at Stateville Maximum Security Prison through classes, workshops, a policy think tank, and guest lectures. 

R.E.A.L. Youth Initiative ("REAL") develops revolutionary consciousness and builds community amongst currently incarcerated and formerly incarcerated youth in order to work towards the abolition of prisons and the conditions that (re)produce them. 

This is an opportunity to support and grow the power and capacities of host organizations or organizing communities, as well as create an opportunity for interns to gain hands-on experience working toward social change.
