The Idaho Office for Refugees (IOR) creates opportunities for refugees who have resettled in Idaho. This semester, IOR is offering three internship opportunities for students at Boise State.
These internships are normally unpaid, but students may opt to receive up to 3 credits of academic credit for their participation. Additionally, students whose majors are within the Departments of Anthropology, Biology, History, Linguistics, Psychology, Sociology, or World Languages are eligible to receive a $2,375 stipend applied to their student accounts in three installments at the end of weeks 4, 9, and 15 of the semester.
Applications for all three positions are due September 12, so act now if you are interested!Â
