JANS – Are you or do you know a current college student with interests in serving the Mississippi community? The Mississippi State Conference NAACP announces the second annual Ineva May Pittman internship program. This internship allows for the youth to get involved in impacting the community while developing skills for the workplace. Interns will work directly with staff and committee chairs to execute essential program areas. 

Interns will be paired with programs/campaigns that match their career interests while learning about current social justice work and civil rights history. Interns are being sought with exceptional writing ability, a thirst for knowledge, and strong organizational skills, but above all, students who are not afraid of a challenge.
