In Semester for Impact, nothing matters more than high-quality, well-supported internships…but that can’t happen without your partnership!
What Semester for Impact can do for YOU:
Our Semester for Impact Fellows serve approximately 30 hours per week at their internship sites, doing a mix of general capacity building and a unique special project that leverages the Fellows’ talents to deliver meaningful work for you and your organization.
Special projects are typically the kinds of high-value, medium-to-low-urgency projects that are often difficult to find time for.
Possible examples include:
A revised and updated database of grant opportunities
A new social media plan and sample marketing/design materials
A new outreach effort to bring in volunteers for a key program
Planning and execution of a new event to connect with the community
Our host organizations often report that their Fellows not only provided a key capacity lift for their semester of service, but also a source of inspiration and energy.
What We Are Looking For
Semester for Impact Fellows intern at nonprofits, government agencies, and social mission businesses.
We ask that any potential host site:
Designate a mentor to supervise and coach the Fellow throughout the semester
Collaborate on the design of a special project for the Fellow, taking up approximately 40% of their time
Support the Fellow with access to leadership and professional development opportunities
Provide the Fellow with any essential software or materials needed to complete their work
Commit to a $595 fee per Fellow, to help offset the cost of program operations and student benefits
