For the past several years, Union College has received grant and endowed funds to support students interning during the summer at community service non-profit organizations. For summer 2012, funding will be provided by the Class of 1973 35th ReUnion Community Service Internship Endowment and the Roger H. Hull Summer Community Service Endowment. Students need to secure their own internship and then apply for the funding through the Becker Career Center. For assistance identifying relevant internship opportunities or with any questions please contact the Becker Career Center at careercenter@union.edu or 518.388.6176.
Previously, students have interned at organizations such as: Habitat for Humanity; Bethesda House; Girls, Inc.; Regional Food Bank; Cystic Fibrosis Foundation; Boys & Girls Clubs; Hospitals; Schenectady Community Action Program; AIDS Action Committee in Boston; Gilda's Club; U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants; New Yorkers Against the Death Penalty; Haven Grief Counseling Center; Law, Order, & Justice Center; School on Wheels; the Joan Nicole Prince Home; and more!
