Policy and Nonprofit Leadership Internship Program

SHECP's Policy & Nonprofit Leadership internships offer a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to gain experience in public policy and nonprofit leadership while addressing issues of poverty in communities. This program was specifically designed for students who have completed SHECP’s traditional client-facing internship. The students will bring their experiences and perspectives gained from coursework and working with clients at community partners engaged in anti-poverty work to understand the challenges of leading these organizations and the development of anti-poverty policy. 

The internship will run for 8-weeks, June 3rd–July 28th, and interns are expected to work 35-40 hours per week. All sites this year will be based in Washington, DCSHECP will provide housing, a $2,800 living stipend, and a travel stipend. Interns will be expected to attend the SHECP Annual Conference at the end of July. 

 Interested rising-juniors and rising-seniors should complete their application by February 16th.  You should also send your resume to jen.handy@shepherdconsortium.org.
