Every summer the PRCHN seeks students who are interested in gaining skills in field data collection, working in the community, data entry, and understanding food access within the city of Cleveland for an approximately 2-month summer internship experience (mid-June to mid-August).
CIFTR inters work as a team to canvas and assess all food retail locations within the city of Cleveland in order to contribute to an ongoing annual surveillance project which documents and classifies each food retail location based on products sold within the store.
Interns will pair up into teams of two to compleate a 2-phased approach to surveillance by first canvasing an entire neighborhood by driving each street to observe all locations selling food and second visiting each observed location to perform a short in-store assessment documenting the presence of select food and tobacco items. In addition to performing the assessments, interns will be responsible for completing data entry and data quality assurance to update a large longitudinal database.
We seek students who are enthusiastic about going experience in community-based work and understand the built environment of all the diverse neighborhoods of Cleveland. having reliable transportation is a plus but not a requirement.
Hours and Payment:
For the summer program, the intern will work 16-20 hours/week. Hourly wages are $15-$18.75/hour based on experience.
