Summer Funded Internships

The Funded Internship Program was launched in 2009 and places up to 15 Pace University students in full-time summer internships with New York social enterprises and human service nonprofit organizations each year.

The goal of the internship is two-fold: To offer experiential learning and income for students interested in careers in the nonprofit sector, and to offer bright, highly motivated, mentored students in service for nonprofits. Internships must provide hands-on, substantive opportunities for students to make a meaningful contribution to the work of the organization.

 

Requirements for Participation

Students must:

  • Have an interest in human service and/or social enterprise.
  • Work full-time for eight weeks between June and September.
  • Make a 35 hours per week committment: Total award $4,200 ($15.00/hr)

How Pace Students Can Apply:

Internship descriptions are listed on the Career Services e-Recruiting website (enter "Wilson Center" in the key-word search).  Application instructions vary by employer and are included in the internship description.
