The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado and Business Education Connection have designed an intensive paid summer internship program with in-person learning opportunities for 13 local high school students that will benefit selected La Plata County nonprofits. Nonprofits will receive a complete social media campaign for their organization.
Nonprofits selected to participate would host a rising junior or senior high school intern for four weeks, 36 hours a week from June 7 to July 2.
In addition to the assigned intern, nonprofits will receive an operational grant, which will be a minimum of $2,000, upon successful completion of this program. These grant funds are designed for execution of the marketing efforts created by the intern.
For nonprofits to be considered, a letter of consideration must be submitted by March 24. Requirements for the letter are available at www.swcommunityfoundation.org/intern.
Students may apply for internships beginning March 29, by contacting Janae Hunderman at janae@businesseducationconnection.org.
