Nonprofit Internship Program

The Denver Foundation is excited to announce the return of its Nonprofit Internship Program for Summer 2008!

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

               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."
