Internship and Job Search Resources

Internship Search Resources and Recommendations

Internships with nonprofit organizations are a bit harder to come by than internships with government or the private sector...if you want to get paid. ;)

Your first stop should be the binders in OSAP which list previous years' internships. Look at several years' worth.

Next, check out the Alumni Directory. To get the password, email Debbie in OSAP. You can search the database by sector in which the alum is employed, or just look through the names of employers until something catches your eye. Then give the alum a call. Trust us, they will talk to you. If their organization doesn't have an internship, they may be able to refer you.

If you start early enough, you may be able to work with an organization to fund your internship by writing a grant. If you have an organization in mind, you might want to talk to Professor Eaton (he teaches a fundraising course) about what to do next.

Finally, here are some internship sites and programs to try:

• Moving Ideas Internship Page
• Progressive Internship Yahoo! Group
• Idealist.org
• Eco.org
• PAWSS Career and Internships Guide
• Everett Public Service Internship Program
