Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We are looking for a Social Justice Assessor who will work with our team to advance equity and justice within our organization. The intern will have the opportunity to assess our company which covers our website, products, and services, as well as work on initiatives to create positive change for Magnify Access. Our intention is to ensure our company stands against the following social justice issues:

  • Racism and discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and other identity factors
  • Income inequality and lack of access to economic opportunity
  • Inadequate access to education, healthcare, and other necessities
  • The disproportionate impact of environmental harm on marginalized communities
  • Gender inequality and discrimination against women and non-binary individuals
  • Discrimination and mistreatment of people with disabilities.


The end result of your internship would be to produce clear guidelines/direction on how to ensure our company has addressed issues related to social justice internally and externally, captured in a document the company can use to remediate these issues.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

1. Conducting research on social justice issues and identifying areas where the company can make a positive impact.

2. Developing and implementing strategies to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the company.

6. Participating in company-wide initiatives to promote social justice and support marginalized communities.
