College Work-Study and Internship Program

During the academic year and the summer, we have work-study opportunities available to eligible students enrolled at Cornell University or Ithaca College. These paid work-study positions are administered in collaboration with the student’s institution to those who qualify for Federal Work-Study support. Work-study positions typically work 3-10 hours a week on a wide variety of tasks tailored to the student’s interests, skills, and plans for the future.

For eligibility, please check with IC or Cornell, or contact our General Manager, Jennifer Pearcy-Edwards, at jen@thecherry.org.

We are currently accepting applications for summer and fall 2024.
We occasionally offer other paid and unpaid internships. Check back for details as new opportunities emerge.
