Nonprofit Internship Program

The Denver Foundation is excited to announce the return of its Nonprofit Internship Program for Summer 2009!

The deadline for organizations to submit an application has passed.  Thank you for your interest in hosting an intern, and please check back with us next year!

Students, are you interested in having a paid internship with a nonprofit organization this summer?  Seven paid interns will spend ten weeks working with nonprofit organizations and learning about the nonprofit sector.

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."

The deadline for applications from students is Monday, February 9, 2009, by 5:00 p.m., MST.  To learn more about being an intern and to find an application, click here.  To learn more about the program, click below.
