Subject: Need internship opportunities in Moscow

My wife Martha Olcott is a member of this net. She and I have responsibility
next semester (Sept-Dec 1996) for a Colgate University study group, to be based
in Moscow. As part of our curriculum, we would like students to have a work
experience, either in a Russian organization or in a foreign one that is doing
work in Moscow. We would like to place our students into organizations AS
VOLUNTEERS, for up to 10-15 hours per week. The students have expressed
interest in doing virtually any kind of jobs, as long as they get some
experience living and working in Moscow (or immediate environs).

 We are particularly interested in NGOs, democracy-building initiatives, and
organizations of that sort, but could also place students at volunteers in
businesses or offices.


Our students are juniors, about 2/3 poli sci, eco, and/or history majors, with
the rest language and lit. All of them will have some Russian, although their
level of mastery will vary from just-beginning to reasonably fluent.

I would be grateful if any of you on this net have suggestions about
organizations which we might approach on our students' behalf. Please route
suggestions to me (AOLCOTT at center.colgate.edu), since Martha is not always able
to clear her e-mail immediately.

Many thanks for any help or suggestions you may offer.
