2026 Building A Movement (BAM) Labor Internship Host Organization Interest Form
Please complete the following form if your organization would like to host a student intern during SPRING 2026 (March 30-June 5). If you would like to extend the internship into SUMMER 2026, please indicate in this form.

DEADLINE: Only applications submitted by NOVEMBER 12 (Wed) 11:59pm PT will be considered to host an intern. Please reach out to Graduate Staff Assistant Soohyung Hur (hursh@uw.edu) and Inhauck Choi (inhauck@uw.edu) if you would like to schedule a meeting before submitting. Thank you for your interest in partnering with us! 

TIMELINE: 
  • November to December 2025: The Bridges Center will review host organization forms from November to December 2025 and confirm participating organizations. Host organizations will be selected based on the Host Organization Selection Criteria. 
  • January to February 2026: Students apply to BAM. Host organizations will have 2 weeks to review student applications and select the interns. 
  • March 2026: The Bridges Center will confirm with students about accepting the position, onboard students as new UW employees, and connect the host organization supervisor with the interns. The first day of the internship is March 30, 2026. 
COST:
The 2026 pay rate for BAM interns is $25/hour. Assuming a 50/50 cost-share between the host organization and the Bridges Center, and a 19.5 hour work week, the cost to host organizations for one internship position is $3,369.60 per quarter. We operate on a sliding scale and welcome contributions more than 50% to help expand the program. BAM interns are considered Undergraduate Research Assistants and covered by the UAW 4121 Academic Student Employee (ASE) Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Students often ask us what organizations are looking for. Are there specific things your organization is looking for among applicants this year, that you'd be comfortable with us sharing with students?
Are there any concerns or challenges you anticipate in hosting an intern? How can the Bridges Center support you? 
The BAM Labor Internship is funded and made possible through our partnerships with Host Organizations. Unless otherwise arranged, the Bridges Center asks Host Organizations to contribute to the cost of the program, by contributing 50% of their student intern(s)’ position costs (billed at the end of the program). If willing and able to do so, host organizations may contribute more than 50% of the interns' position costs.

Please sign below if you and your organization agree to this 50-50 cost share, or the alternative cost-share arrangement that has been discussed previously.
