About Pandemic Professors:

The closure of schools that began in the spring has served to only widen the educational gap between economically disadvantaged students and others. With school closures taking place for the foreseeable future it is imperative that we give economically disadvantaged students the attention they need to not fall behind.

Pandemicprofessors.org, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, was founded in April by UC Berkeley alumni to achieve this mission. It is a 100% volunteer-based organization from top-to-bottom. We have partnered with a national job training nonprofit to provide educational help to the children of the low-income parents in their programs. We are also connecting with underserved schools and districts across the country to help disparaged and at-risk youth. We will be seeing a huge influx of students and we are asking interns with a wide range of skills and interests to assist us with multiple operations.

As an intern, you will be responsible for helping the organization run smoothly and deliver the best services possible to students in need. You will interact with staff and tutors. Your position will depend upon your personal goals and skills. You will be able to grow a diverse range of skills tailored to your professional interest. This is an internship you have ownership of. We are a 100% volunteer run organization, there are no paid roles available.
