[00:00:10.909]The Institute for Ethnic Studies provides
[00:00:12.967]an opportunity for an internship with non-profit
[00:00:16.804]organizations around the community
[00:00:19.101]and that definitely grabbed my interest.
[00:00:21.065]Wanna sit down?
[00:00:22.655]My internship includes me in the early education
[00:00:25.465]program at the Malone Center.
[00:00:29.537]Your name is not there, Briana.
[00:00:31.359]I assist the teacher with various activities
[00:00:33.700]around the classroom.
[00:00:35.809]Ethnic studies has actually paid my salary
[00:00:37.818]to engage in community service
[00:00:39.477]that way I can take the theories that I've learned
[00:00:41.585]in Ethnic Studies and apply them in my community.
[00:00:46.032]We're at the American Civil Liberties Union
[00:00:47.715]of Nebraska,we're a legal advocacy organization.
[00:00:51.072]So we keep doing individual advocacy
[00:00:52.663]with the police department.
[00:00:53.833]I currently do research for the legal director,
[00:00:56.454]Amy Miller.
[00:00:57.343]I think we're lucky that if can have that.
[00:00:58.932]If you'll have me I'll just keep coming back.
[00:01:03.754]This internship has definitely spiked my interest
[00:01:06.047]in non-profit organizations.
[00:01:08.619]So not only do I work with amazing people,
[00:01:11.147]I get to engage in my community on a legislative level
[00:01:14.939]as well as a legal level.
[00:01:16.668]So I'm helping change the dynamic of Lincoln
[00:01:19.197]as well as the state of Nebraska.
[00:01:22.847]This internship has really helped me figure out
[00:01:25.189]what I want to do career wise.
[00:01:27.205]I highly recommend that every Ethnic Studies student
[00:01:30.283]apply for this grant and do internship work
[00:01:32.717]because it allows them to engage in their community
[00:01:35.008]and get paid for it, hone their skills, and their knowledge
[00:01:38.425]in order to work in the real world.
