What kind of work will I be doing?  什麼樣的工作
Assignments are flexible and based on the needs of the organization and the skills and interests of the intern. Interns can help with grassroots outreach activities, including demonstrations and tabling events; counsel students and activists about animal issues; conduct library and online research; correspond with members; and deal with local, national, and international media to communicate the animal rights message. Interns also do clerical work, prepare mailings, create props for demonstrations, and help with local outreach.
很有彈性,視組織需要及實習生的能力興趣。


Where will I live?  住哪裡?
Interns live at the Gordon House, located about a mile and a half from PETA headquarters in the heart of Ghent—Norfolk's trendy, historic neighborhood. The house accommodates up to 13 people and has eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens, and a washer and dryer. Restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets, boutiques, a park, and an art house theater are within walking distance.

Will I be able to travel?  可以去旅行嗎?
A highlight of being an intern is traveling across the country with campaigners. Most interns take advantage of this opportunity at least once, depending on the events planned during their time with us.
最精彩的部分就是可以跟campaigners一同在國內旅行,每位實習生至少有一次機會。


What kind of training will I receive?  會有怎樣的訓練?
Interns attend a weekly training session on building activist skills. In addition, there are opportunities to attend various presentations and a new-intern orientation offered quarterly. A tour of the building and the PETA Library and Literature Department are also scheduled to help you learn about the resources available to you at PETA.

You are responsible for your own food during non-work hours, and there are several grocery stores within walking distance of the Gordon House. You will not need a car or a computer, but you are welcome to bring them.
帶自己的衣服及個人用品。床單,洗衣店,洗碗精,廚房用具,盤子,用具都有提供。需自行負責非工作期間的食物,有很多雜貨店在走路可到之處。你不需要車或電腦,但要帶也是歡迎。


What is the office dress ?  穿啥?
Because of PETA's high visibility, we strive to present a professional image. Interns should dress neatly and not wear clothes that draw attention to the "messenger rather than to the message." Office attire is "business casual," so the following are prohibited: jeans, shorts, tank tops, and crop tops. As an animal rights organization, PETA does not permit the wearing of any animal products (fur, leather, wool, silk, etc.) in the building or at PETA-sponsored events.
因peta高知名度,我們需要維持專業形象。實習生穿著需整齊。工作穿著(attire)  "business casual",下列禁止: 牛仔褲, 短褲,背心(tank tops),露肚裝(crop tops) XD。更不允許穿著任何動物製品。


Is there a computer and Internet access in the Gordon House?  有電腦嗎?
Yes, one computer with Internet service is provided.
是的,有台能上網的電腦。


Are animal companions allowed at the Gordon House?  可帶動物嗎?

Does PETA cover transportation costs?   含交通費嗎?
Interns are responsible for getting to and from Norfolk. A PETA representative will meet you at the airport and drive you to the Gordon House. (Be sure to provide us with a complete itinerary as soon as you know your travel plans.) You will be given a complete tour of the house upon your arrival.
自費。PETA代表會在機場接你到Gordon House。請盡快提供您的旅行路線,在到達房子時會有完整的介紹。


How will I travel back and forth between the Gordon House and PETA headquarters?
The Gordon House is located approximately 1 1/4 miles from PETA. Bicycles and helmets are provided for interns, and there is also a footpath that interns can take to and from the office.
到PETA距離約1又1/4 mile,會提供腳踏車和安全帽,也有步道


What is there to do after work?  下班後做什麼? Hampton Roads is the bustling beachside community comprising Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton, Portsmouth, and Newport News. The Gordon House, located in Norfolk, is just 25 minutes from the beach. For entertainment on dry land, there are many shops, restaurants, and activities throughout Hampton Roads. You won't have to go further than a few blocks from the Gordon House to find restaurants and coffee shops with great vegan food. Please visit hamptonroads.cox.net for more details. We provide a reference book at the Gordon House that details all the various entertainment venues.
Hampton Roads是由Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton, Portsmouth, and Newport News組成的熙攘海邊社區。The Gordon House,位於Norfolk,離海灘僅25分鐘。陸上娛樂方面,有很多店,餐廳,和各種活動。你不需要跑很遠去找餐廳或有提供素食的咖啡店。詳情可參考hamptonroads.cox.net    我們有提供娛樂集散相關之參考書籍。


What if I would like to work at PETA?   如果想在PETA工作?
Interning is a great way to determine whether PETA is a place where you would want to work, although there is no guarantee that you will be offered a position if you intern. Still, we can promise that you will gain a great understanding of animal rights and learn about the inner workings of the most effective organization in the movement. The internship also gives you a great opportunity to network with PETA staff members and develop your talents and skills.

來實習是個能確定你peta是否是你理想工作地點的好方法,雖然並不保證你來實習就能得到一個職位。但我們保證你可以得到對動物權相當的了解,及從參與組織運動中了解到這裡的內部工作。實習也給你與peta成員很好的機會及發展你的才能及潛力。
