How the Program Works:
Phase One:
Nonprofit organizations submit internship applications, outlining the scope of the project and intern qualifications. Before the start of each semester (fall, spring, and summer), students apply for an internship through the program by submitting resumes to the Lavin Entrepreneurship Center.
Phase Two:
Interviews are arranged for the nonprofit representative with students who match the project requirements. After interviewing 3 to 4 candidates, the nonprofit selects their ideal candidate for the internship. The selected intern is then matched with a SDSU faculty and employee project advisor who would provide additional support and guidance.
Phase Three:
Internships last for 150 hours over the course of one semester. The intern is the individual primarily responsible for the internship project and is expected to take leadership to ensure a successful outcome. A wrap-up event is held at the end of the semester for interns and nonprofits to present on project outcomes.
All interns are paid, but nonprofits are only responsible for $1,950 of the internship costs—a fraction of the cost associated with new hires or consultants..
