The Internship Placement Process

Non-Profit / Social Services

A non-profit organizaiton is formed for the purpose of serving a public, charitable, educational, or service for purposes other than making money.  Nonprofits are tax-exempt and generally have a mission that enhances the public welfare. Make a difference by helping others and supporting community causes in this industry. Professionals in this field work in social services and improve the condition of disadvantaged people in society. This profession is committed to social justice and resolving social issues among all socioeconomic statuses.

As a CE intern, you may work closely with an environmental, social, or political nonprofit agency. Interns may also work in a social services department helping our fellow citizens. Non-profits can be locally focused or have extraordinary global reach.In recent years, the number of non-profit organizations has proliferated and experts have suggested that these organizations carry increasingly significant influence over policy and business decisions. Wages tend to be below average in the non-profit sector, although top personnel at global organizations now routinely earn six fugure salaries or more.

Past CE Non-Profit/Social Services Interns have:

  • Worked with underserved populations or those in need at a not-for-profit organization, domestic or international charity, or social service agency 
  • Helped with fundraisers, coordinated volunteer projects, supported the arts, education, or health, and worked on issues related to child welfare, homelessness, special needs populations, and social justice
  • Worked in the capacity of philanthropy, advocacy, or worked directly with clients
  • And much, much more...
