Open to international students who are eligible to work abroad from an accredited university and/or through a third-party work-study program.
Ideal applicants have experience in community organizing, management, and/or communications, and are involved in free/open culture movement.

Stipend

Creative Commons offers a stipend of 4.632,15 € ($6,000), if not otherwise covered by grant funding, for 10 weeks during the summer of 2013 (June-August). Exact dates of the internship are flexible. If your school offers a stipend for work-study or internships, this factor is figured into the compensation. Interns are not employees of Creative Commons, and will not be entitled to any benefits provided to CC employees. Interns must make their own housing, insurance, and transportation arrangements.

Work Environment

The internship is based at Creative Commons offices located in downtown Mountain View, California, easily accessible via car and public transportation. The facility is an open pod setting; amenities include a communal kitchen and free parking. Intern is supervised by the Global Network Manager but will also be interacting with internationally-based staff and volunteers, so some late night and early morning work may be required.
