Hello All!
I just wanted to let you know of a great opportunity happening this summer through the Denver Foundation. The Denver Foundation is Colorado's largest community foundation and its mission is to inspire people and mobilize resources to strengthen our community.
This summer, the Denver Foundation is offering their Non-Profit Summer Internship for all undergraduate Metro students. The Internship started in 2007 and is one of few that is paid and provides an opportunity to learn about yourself and non-profit organizations in the Denver community. There have been six Metro State students who received this internship out of 43 interns since 2007. This program works to provide opportunities to individuals who come from subordinate or under-represented communities. Individuals come out of this program acquiring more knowledge about: leadership skills , real work experience and skills, and a vast understanding of non-profit community issues.
In conjunction with the Summer Internship Program, Non-Profit Organizations that received funding from the Denver Foundation, have a chance to apply to receive an intern for their non-profit, and get another grant for their organization.
This internship is for all majors and a variety of unique non-profits such as: Platte Forum, Growing Home, Doctors Care and the African Community Center.
This year, the Denver Foundation is offering 12 spots for non-profit organization interns, two spots for the Denver Foundation interns, and 1 intern for the Womens Foundation.
If you would like to know more about this opportunity, and program logistics, please go to: http://www.denverfoundation.org/community/page/nonprofit-internship-program
Organizations that will participate in the 2011 Summer Internship Program will be posted on December 17th,2010!
The deadline for the opportunity is Monday January 14th,2011 at 5pm Mountain Time.
This looks wonderful on a resume and is a great expierence to have as a Metro Student!
Thanks for reading!
