2023 Cleveland Foundation Summer Internship Program!

Now in its 24th 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 Late May/Early June 2023 through Early August 2023.
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 career-related work experience that could build your resume, skills, and network?
Will you be a Junior or Senior in Fall 2023, graduating in Spring 2023?
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?
Please visit https://www.clevelandfoundation.org/student-resources/internship/ for more information and to apply. Applications open in November 2022 and close on March 24th, 2023. You can check out blog posts from our past interns, and follow #SummerofPurpose on social media for updates. You can subscribe to receive the Summer Internship Program e-newsletter here.
