NNOMY Volunteer and Internship Inquiries

NNOMY receives occasional requests by individuals who wish to participate in youth demilitarization activism.  There are many ways to contribute to counter military recruitment efforts, or more broadly, youth demilitarization activism. Our volunteers work in close coordination with individuals who carry long-standing experience and deep-rooted commitments in this field. This collaboration requires a careful balance: meeting project deadlines for campaigning and resource development while remaining attentive to the cultural sensitivities and tensions that surround counter militarization work.

You should also make a personal assessment whether your personal skills and temperament can enhance NNOMY's activism. There are many areas of contribution needed from administrative tasks, research and data collection to creative offerings such as authoring articles or providing artistic support for informational graphics and videos for public outreach depending upon your skill level and knowledge of the issues. 

 

NNOMY Internship

 

The National Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth (NNOMY) offers unpaid internships designed to support academic curriculum requirements and provide meaningful experience in youth demilitarization advocacy.

In addition to the current listings on our Internship Opportunities page, we welcome proposals for original internship projects that align with NNOMY’s mission. If your research or creative approach offers new insights into counter-recruitment or youth-focused peace activism, we encourage you to include a brief proposal in your letter of inquiry to our steering committee.

Please note: NNOMY is a national advocacy network that collaborates with peace and demilitarization groups across the country. Our work is political in nature and often controversial in its stance. Interns should be prepared to engage with challenging topics and contribute to campaigns that confront militarism in education and public life.
