Description:
The Endangered Language Fund (ELF), a non-profit organization dedicated to the
documentation and revitalization of endangered languages, has an opportunity
for an unpaid internship at our New Haven, Connecticut, office.  The timeframe
is open-ended, but we are most interested in someone who could make a
commitment for a year (start date between June and mid-August). Duties would
include updating the ELF website, working on our newsletter, tracking progress
of grants, maintaining the ELF Facebook page, and a variety of other tasks. 
We would be especially interested in someone with good social media skills.
This is a great opportunity to learn about language documentation and
revitalization, as well as non-profit management. It is also a good way to
explore possibilities for graduate school and network with other linguists.
Hours are flexible; previous interns have had outside paying jobs as well as
volunteering, but the intern should spend 10-20 hours per week in the ELF
office in New Haven.


Application Deadline: 15-Aug-2016

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
