At the University of Chicago Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, we want students to have access to academic and cultural resources, but to also have opportunities independent of the classroom and student life. Thus, the following is a list of opportunities where students can go to search for funding, enrich their summers or find work after graduation.

UChicago Summer Links Internship Program

Summer Links is an intensive 11-week, paid internship program for 30 returning College and graduate students committed to public service, community building, and social change. Started in 1997 and sponsored by the Dean of the College, Summer Links has placed over 350 students in substantive internships with more than 150 organizations throughout the city of Chicago.

Summer Links interns work Monday through Thursdays at community-based and nonprofit organizations that engage in direct service, advocacy, and research addressing a diverse range of issues. On Wednesday evenings and Fridays the Summer Links group comes together for trainings about Chicago and social justice issues that include guest speakers, site visits, community exploration, and group discussion.
