The Center for Campus and Community Engagement is seeking student applicants for the Community-based Internship program.

This program connects students to nonprofit/public sector organizations to engage in mutually beneficial internships that provide students with high impact experiential learning opportunities and provide community partners with tangible outcomes that directly benefit the southeast Ohio region.

Undergraduate students entering their junior or senior year can apply to intern during the second half of summer session. The Southeast Ohio History Center, Wayne National Forest, Mount Zion Baptist Preservation Society, and the Mayors Partnership for Progress are the participating community partners.
