First and foremost, we at the PKG Center hope that all of you are finding strength and resilience during these emotionally draining and trying circumstances. Echoing our letter to the community<https://pkgcenter.mit.edu/2020/06/05/a-letter-to-the-community-from-the-pkg-center-team/>, we want to state unequivocally that Black Lives Matter and that we are committed to taking anti-racist action. Next, we would like to encourage you to continue engaging in critical, collaborative work with the community to address public and persistent challenges, including institutionalized racism. It is the hope that this newsletter provides opportunities for you to take action in the midst of such unprecedented and difficult times. The opportunities below are paid & remote Social Impact Internships from the PKG Center. Given that the summer is already underway, no new positions will be listed on Handshake after this week. This will therefore be the last newsletter for the summer, as all of our remaining open positions are listed here for future reference.

Please note that only current MIT undergraduate students are eligible for these internship opportunities. Due to funding, graduate students and 2020 grads are not eligible to apply. Please do not hesitate to reach out to studentworker at mit.edu<mailto:studentworker at mit.edu> with any questions or concerns.
