Now in its 22nd year, the Cleveland Foundation Summer Internship program has stayed true to its goal of connecting undergraduate students with meaningful, career-related experiences in nonprofit and public sector agencies. Each intern is placed at either a local public or nonprofit organization for a period of 11 weeks over the course of the summer.
This program adds value to agencies by recruiting talented applicants and providing funding to pay interns who conduct and complete important projects within our community. In an effort to match the particular needs of an organization with the unique backgrounds and experiences of interns from all majors, projects showcase the depth, breadth and diversity of Cleveland’s civic sector. The internship program runs from May 26th, 2021 through August 6th, 2021.
If you are an undergraduate student or recent college graduate and can answer YES to the following questions, please consider applying:
- Are you looking for a career-related work experience that could build your resume, skills and network?
- Will you be a Junior or Senior in Fall 2021, graduating in Spring 2021, or a first year graduate student in Spring 2021?
- Do you attend a local college or university in Cuyahoga, Lake, and Geauga counties or are you a permanent resident of Cuyahoga, Lake, and Geauga counties?
- Do you have an interest in the nonprofit or public sector?
