Ten paid interns will spend ten weeks working with nonprofit organizations and learning about the nonprofit sector.  The interns will spend thirty to thirty-five hours per week with the organizations, and other learning opportunities about the nonpforit sector as a whole.  The Denver Foundation will coordinate these weekly meetings, which may include speakers, opportunities for discussion with fellow interns, and visits into the community.

Program Goals:
        *    Encourage motivated, highly qualified students from communities traditionally under-represented 
              in the nonprofit sector to pursue careers in the sector
        *    Provide meaningful exposure to opportunities within the nonprofit sector
        *    Build capacity within nonprofit organizations by providing additional staff support

                  

       »   "This program was not only a rare opportunity, but a personal watershed in terms of how I think
               about nonprofits and my future in the sector."

        »   I didn't once feel like an "intern"; from the very first day I felt like a necessary and valued employee.   
             I became so involved, in fact, that I am continuing my work at the Association as a part-time 
             volunteer during the school year."
