intern or volunteer with psny!

Working with The Poetry Society of New York (PSNY) as an intern can be life-changing. Internship tasks can be tailored to your interests, whether in event production, marketing or PR, fundraising and development, editorial work, or other areas. As a small non-profit, we empower our interns with much more responsibility than most organizations, and we usually become lifelong friends. All internships are unpaid but can be done for college credit.
