Internships with Slow Food UW allow UW-Madison students to engage with food system issues according to their interests & availability. As a student-run organization & business, membership changes each semester & year and offers the flexibility to grow to fit the needs of the individuals involved. Internships require 2-15 hours of responsibilities per week. Individual internship responsibilities differ depending on the subgroup of SFUW.
FAQs
Can I receive credit for my internship?
Please see our page about the South Madison Independent Study.
How long are internships?
Internships are for one semester, after which the intern has the option to continue in the same position, apply for a different internship in the organization, or complete the internship.
What will be expected of me?
Different internship positions have different day-to-day requirements and expected time commitments, so that individuals can match their interests, capacity, and schedule to these expectations. Please see the individual intern pages for more details on the responsibilities.
SFUW requires all interns receiving credit to meet the goals they and their advisor set throughout the semester, as well as the organization’s responsibilities and expectations. Upon completing the internship at the end of the semester, interns can list their experience on their resume and request an official letter of recommendation from their project director.
Am I eligible?
All UW-Madison students are eligible to apply.
Can I apply to more than one internship?
Students are welcome to apply to more than one internship, but will only be accepted for one position. We encourage all students interested in becoming SFUW interns to volunteer with the organization and learn more about the projects and internships prior to/during the application process.
