[Anderson, Freya N (EED)]

Fellow Alaskans,

There's a great opportunity for college graduates who want to work with the NLS, the national coordinator for the Talking Books programs around the country. Established through the National Library for the Blind Endowment, this paid internship offers legally blind individuals the opportunity to work at NLS in areas that support services for people who are blind, including collections building, program delivery, and business oversight and management. Through this program, interns will gain valuable experience and explore potential career options while being guided through mentorships and developmental activities. The next session runs for 10 weeks during the summer of 2024.

Application Process

Currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students and those who have graduated within the past five years from an accredited two-year or four-year college or university are eligible to apply. In addition, applicants:


  *   Must be US citizens
  *   Must be legally blind
  *   Must be able to work remotely

A complete application package includes a cover letter expressing interest, a resume, a recent official or unofficial transcript, and an application form that is completed online.

Applicants interested in the summer 2024 session must submit completed applications by March 1, 2024.
