The ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program
Each summer, ExxonMobil Foundation provides 60 local nonprofit agencies with grants designated to hire college interns for eight weeks during the summer. As Community Summer Jobs Program interns, students are introduced to nonprofit social, cultural, and health service organizations so that they may familiarize themselves with the nonprofit sector and, hopefully, consider careers or volunteer leadership positions in this area of work. Internship positions vary from caseworkers to public relations assistants to event planners. Each internship lasts eight weeks and may take place any time between mid-May and the end of August. The current stipend is $2,750.
In addition to gaining valuable work experience, interns are provided with opportunities to network with other interns and participating agencies, participate in a service project, attend an all-day Professional Development Seminar hosted by ExxonMobil and Volunteer Fairfax, and are invited to a social event and performance at Wolf Trap Center for the Performing Arts.
Interns should apply directly to the agencies of their choice. Eligible students are currently enrolled full-time at an accredited college or university and will be full-time sophomores, juniors, or seniors in the fall of 2010. Participating agencies for 2010 have been selected and a complete list of those agencies, along with their internship descriptions and information about which positions are still open, is available here. Interested students should apply directly to the agencies. Resumes received by Volunteer Fairfax will not be considered.
Questions about the program should be directed to Community Summer Jobs Program staff.
