Spring 2025 Internship Opportunity: RU Ready
Under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth Matto and Jessica Ronan-Frisch, RU Ready features instructional methods that foster active citizenship. The program’s hallmark is the central role played by a team of Rutgers students who work directly with local high school students and administer interactive workshops and activities. Such peer to peer contact improves the likelihood that the lessons of RU Ready will be absorbed by the students experiencing them. The program currently is administered in area middle schools and high schools throughout the state of New Jersey, with particular emphasis on serving underrepresented students.

RU Ready is made possible by the generous support of the New Jersey State Bar Foundation.

Submit a Video to the Democracy Lab
We want to hear your thoughts about democracy!
The Rutgers Democracy Lab is seeking students to submit their videos exploring the topic of American democracy and civic engagement in the digital age. The videos will be shared on the Eagleton Institute’s Instagram page as part of an effort to inspire meaningful conversations on and off campus about civic engagement.
The style of the video is up to you, from spontaneous “On the Street” style interviews to “Get Ready With Me” tutorials that weave in important topics in political and social discourse.
