- About -
PRSA Pittsburgh has established the DEI Internship to attract more diverse young talent to public relations careers in the region. 

- Overview -
The goal of the internship is to provide a student with real-world knowledge in PR while supporting day-to-day activities of the chapter. The internship is open and available to any junior or senior from racial and ethnic minority groups, racial and ethnic marginalized or minority groups, underserved or underrepresented groups, racial and ethnic minority students from a Pittsburgh-area university/college that supports internship credit.

- How it Works - 

This would be a Fall internship, and the intern would work an average of 10-15 hours per week from September 8 through the end of November. The student would partner with PRSA’s executive board to determine a schedule that works for them while still meeting the requirements of a 3-4 credit internship. The student would be paid a stipend of $2,000.
