Community partners with growing needs or specialized projects opt to participate in the service-learning internship program. Students from UNC Chapel Hill apply to participate in the internship program and are matched with agencies that meet both their interests and learning goals. Community Partners and the APPLES Service-Learning Program mutually select an intern that best matches the needs of the agency and the interests of the intern.

APPLES subsidizes half of the cost of spring and summer interns, who are hired by the internship site and placed on their biweekly or monthly payroll. Spring interns agree to work 10-15 hours a week for 10 weeks during the semester and are compensated with a $1200 stipend. In addition, spring interns receive 3.0 hours of graded academic credit through an Internship Course in the School of Social Work taken in conjunction with the internship.

Summer interns agree to work 40 hours a week for 8 weeks and are compensated with a $2500 stipend. In addition, summer interns receive 3.0 hours of graded academic credit through an independent study course taken in conjunction with the internship.

QuoteNot only do the service-learning programs really benefit community organizations, but the dynamic young people that APPLES sends our way has certainly enriched my life.
