Commonweal magazine is looking for talented interns.

Thanks to a recent grant, we are very pleased to be able to offer two undergraduate or graduate students (or recent graduates at any level) the chance to work as interns at Commonweal.

Our hope is that we will be able to find some exceptional candidates who are both interested in the intellectual life of the Church and committed to developing their skills as writers and journalists. They will spend from 1 to 4 days a week here at the magazine, working under the supervision of our staff and participating in occasional informal seminars and writing projects. A small stipend will be provided.The following website explains this program in further detail: www.commonwealmagazine.org/interns
