Want to spend your summer getting paid to work full time with an organization promoting labor solidarity, workplace dignity, and the common good?

Institute for Social Concerns Summer Labor Fellowships are full-time, paid opportunities for select Notre Dame undergraduates (rising seniors, juniors, and sophomores) to spend the summer engaged in labor-focused, project-based work while developing their skills in organizing, research, advocacy, and communications.

Partner organizations
Each fellow will be placed with a national partner of the institute’s Higgins Labor Program:

• Economic Policy Institute (Washington, DC)
• Unite Here Local 1 (Chicago)

Details
Summer Labor Fellowships offer eight consecutive weeks of full-time, on-site work with an organization promoting labor solidarity, workplace dignity, and the common good.

Fellows receive a $6,000 stipend. They assume responsibility for finding their own transportation and lodging, though they may consult the Institute for Social Concerns or their on-site partner for advice on finding affordable housing and transportation options.

Starting dates will be negotiated with each partner.

Application process
The application is now closed. The application will reopen in spring 2026.
