Summer Internships Program
Program Overview
Selected students serve as full-time (40 hours per week), paid interns in service organizations throughout North Carolina for eight to 10 weeks during the summer.
What to Expect
Academic Credit
Interns receive one hour of academic credit for the summer internship. Selected interns will enroll in CCO SOWO 492, offered by the Friday Center Carolina Courses Online summer program. The course covers material on characteristics of nonprofits, including agency structure, funding, volunteer management and leadership. The class follows a discussion/seminar format and compliments the fieldwork through focused readings, discussion boards and reflective writing.
Finances
All interns will receive $2,500 in funding through a collaborative effort between the APPLES program and the internship site. Stipends are intended to defray the cost of living, transportation and course fees. Interns are paid on the agency's' payroll on a biweekly or monthly basis.
Partial, need based financial assistance will be available to those who qualify. Please contact Carolyn Byrne before January 26 for application information.
Housing and Travel
With the exception of SAF (Student Action with Farmworkers), interns are responsible for arranging their own housing and transportation plans.
