FOREST FOUNDATION PAID NON-PROFIT SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Are you an avid participant in community service work around your college or home community? The Boston-based Forest Foundation is now accepting applications to our paid summer internship program–a cohort of 60 students, sophomores and juniors from diverse backgrounds working to make a difference in the lives of others through a 10 week summer-long fellowship.
We provide opportunities for undergraduate college students to gain experience in the non-profit world though paid internships and accompanying leadership development programs in the Greater Boston area. Interns engage in general operations of a host agency and learn critical skills for potential careers in the world of philanthropy.
You learn about the larger non-profit sector- and your role in it- along the way. You intern at an effective non-profit agency for 10 weeks, learning about the industry and mission from inside. You join a cohesive community of young people who, like you, want to change the world.
You gather with this community throughout the summer for days of networking, workshops, reflections, and professional development. You form a team with other interns and make real grants to actual Greater Boston non-profits.
And you will get compensated with $7,000 to do it!
Government Accountability Office (GAO) paid summer internship
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress. We accomplish our mission by providing objective and reliable information and analysis to the Congress, to federal agencies, and to the public, and recommending improvements, when appropriate, on a wide variety of issues to make government work better.
As a GAO intern, you will learn how to conduct federal audits and program evaluations and apply that knowledge as part of a team. You will assist GAO analysts in planning and conducting in-depth reviews of executive and legislative branch programs. You will collect appropriate data, analyze the data, develop data-based findings and conclusions, and present the information both orally and in writing to diverse audiences.
This opportunity comes highly recommended by a Midd alum! Check it out and apply here: https://www.usajobs.gov/job/691311100#
Be sure to apply soon after it opens because the position will close when it reaches 500 applications.
