Internship Opportunity- Grants and RFP Project

 

The purpose of the Summer Internship Program is to introduce diverse local college students to vast opportunities available within the world of social services. Interns will learn and grow in a supportive environment though job shadowing, participation on cross-functional teams, mentoring, and hands-on experiences. Additionally, they’ll work with other interns on a self-selected team project. Through this exchange, interns will be exposed to ways they can directly and positively impact the lives of our community members.

 

The Programmatic intern will work with staff to enhance their interest, understanding and skills of programmatic work in the social service arena. The intern will participate in a special project, Great Ideas Initiative, which is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for community-driven programs. The project includes reviewing and rating submitted proposals and:
