Description:
The Endangered Languages Project (ELP) is seeking 3 interns for the 2024–2025 academic year (September 2024–March 2025). Interns will contribute to developing our web community and online resource library, growing and managing ELP’s volunteer program, gathering and sharing stories about language work, and more.

The Endangered Languages Project was founded in 2012, as a collaborative online space to share information, ideas, and digital resources to support the revitalization and documentation of the world’s endangered languages. In 2024, we incorporated as a US-based nonprofit organization. Our lead partners are the First Peoples’ Cultural Council and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Department of Linguistics. We’re a small organization committed to mobilizing capacity for Indigenous and endangered language communities to achieve their language goals, making knowledge about language work accessible to those who need it, and fostering relationships between people working to support language diversity.

These are part-time (10 hours/week), paid contract positions. The internship duration is from September 2024 through March 2025, with a break in the December-January holiday period. We are seeking interns for three positions: storytelling and communications intern; digital resources and web community intern; and volunteer management intern.

ELP is a fully remote organization; applicants located anywhere in the world are eligible and encouraged to apply. If you are committed to supporting community-led language revitalization, passionate about international collaboration and knowledge sharing, and interested in creating digital resources and spaces to support language champions around the world, we encourage you to apply.
