About the Partnerships in Aging Program: The Partnerships in Aging Program (PiAP) is a campus-wide program located in the Office of the Provost. In collaboration with community organizations and groups, we nurture dialogue about the personal and societal meaning of having a long life and advance civic engagement as a way to bring about a new kind of aging. PiAP provides expertise and resources to UNC faculty, students, and community partners seeking to reframe the aging experience, together.

About the Internship: PiAP is hiring a graduate level intern to support a new phase of an initiative called SOLO AGERS. https://partnershipsinaging.unc.edu/current-initiatives/#Solo
Solo Agers are (currently) defined as:
• An individual or couple who does not have children (with a partner or not)
• An individual who never married or had children
• An individual who lives alone since the divorce or death or a partner
• An individual or couple whose children and/or other family live far away or are estranged

This internship offers a student the opportunity to interact with a six-person team of older adults in Orange County, a majority of whom are themselves Solo Agers. This team, called the Solo Ager Kickstarters, is responsible for planning and facilitating monthly Solo Aging Interest Group Meetings at the Seymour Center on the 4th Wednesday of the month from 4 to 5:30pm. The Interest Group meetings are an opportunity for community conversations, meet-ups, resource sharing and ongoing learning about topics such as health, legal, financial, housing, and social/emotional aspects of navigating older age while flying solo.

Mentor: The intern will be working directly with community mentor, Carol Gunther-Mohr. Weekly or bi-weekly virtual (for now) meetings with Carol are expected.

Tasks, skills, and personal qualities: Attend in-person meetings and scribe and disseminate meeting notes for both the Kickstarter and Interest Group. Continue to review popular and academic literature to support ongoing learning and critique of the solo aging experience to share at meetings and post on Solo Aging webpage. Coordinate meeting schedules and logistics of hosting meetings and community-wide events. Field inquiries from or about solo agers. Identify local businesses and professionals who work with solo aging issues. We’re looking for a student with a track record of community outreach and social justice work, careful listening, a clear writing style, a sense of humor and esprit de corps.

Details: Time commitment = 3 hours/week. Starting immediately. $20/hour. Remote with occasional in-person meetings. Flexible hours.
