Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS) Program Director

Overview

The Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS) program has offered unique and rewarding paid summer internship opportunities for Princeton undergraduates over the last twenty-five years. The PICS Program Director (designated as the Class of 1969 PICS Program Director) is a part of the Pace Center for Civic Engagement. Building on the Center's vision to make service a central part of the Princeton student experience, the PICS Program Director supports student engagement in service through paid summer internships. The Program Director encourages, supports and invites diverse perspectives in a commitment to the Center’s vision to have Princeton University students make the world more equitable by respecting differences and creating access and opportunity for all people and communities to thrive.

The PICS Program Director has strategic, administrative and operational responsibilities for the management of the PICS program. Cultivating positive and affirming relationships (both within the Princeton campus community and with external stakeholders, including alumni and community partners) in alignment of the Pace Center’s values is essential to this role. The Program Director is responsible, either directly or through the PICS Program Coordinator, for managing relationships with more than 600 alumni donors and volunteers, 200 community partners, 600 student applicants (ultimately 200 accepted interns), and 50 collaborators within the Princeton campus community. The Program Director will work collaboratively across internal and external stakeholders to uphold the highest quality internship experiences for students while maintaining consistency, equity, and transparency in adherence to University standards.

The PICS Program Director will report to the Associate Director of the Center/Director of Service Focus.
