Community Impact Internships Program applications due today

The Community Impact Internships Program (CIIP) applications are available and due January 6th, 2017.

Want to make positive social change? Are you interested in living in Baltimore for the summer? Do you want to work with members of the community to address real world problems? If so, apply for the Community Impact Internship Program, an 8-week paid summer internship experience in Baltimore city. Applications are due by Jan 6th.

Join other Hopkins students this summer in Baltimore working alongside community members to make a difference. The CIIP is a competitive, paid summer internship program that pairs JHU undergraduate students with nonprofit organizations and government agencies to work on community-identified projects. CIIP selects 50 JHU undergraduate students to work in nonprofits, community organizations and government agencies throughout Baltimore City. Internships are selected for each student based on their skills and interests, providing a unique and individualized experience. In addition to interning in the community, the program includes an extensive week-long orientation program and weekly small group reflection sessions. Interns will work 35 hours a week for 8 weeks and earn a $4000 salary. The dates for this year's program are June 5th and August 5th, 2017. CIIP is available to current JHU freshman through junior undergraduates.

The application for the 2017 Community Impact Internships Program (CIIP) is available at http://studentaffairs.jhu.edu/socialconcern/programs/ciip/interns/. The deadline for application submissions is January 6th, 2017.

The goal of this program is two-fold; to give JHU undergraduates an opportunity to be directly involved in a community in Baltimore City and to support the important work being done by nonprofits and government agencies. The CIIP is housed within the Center for Social Concern and is made possible by generous gifts of $2.25 million.
