Closing Date for Applications: December 31, 1999

GLOBAL YOUTH CONNECT (GYC) is a global organization, led by and for
young people, which supports and encourages youth activism, community
building, reconciliation and non-violence. Our goals are to build and
support a community of frontline young activists from around the world,
and to inspire a new generation of young people to work for human rights
and social transformation. GYC was created by a steering committee of
young people from around the world, and is led by a board of directors
made up entirely of youth. (For more information on GYC, please visit
our web site at http://www.globalyouthconnect.org).

We are presently searching for interns to work on an unpaid basis
starting January 2000. We are looking for individuals who can work at
least 10-15 hours per week. GYC will complete any necessary paperwork
for students to receive course credit for their work.

GYC believes that internships should be substantive experiences and
therefore, any interns working with GYC can be assured that their skills
will be well-utilized.

Activist Support Network and a New Activism Initiative.

RESEARCH INTERN: The Research Intern will help GYC in developing a
