Find a Community Partner
Local service organizations benefit from the knowledge, creativity and enthusiasm students contribute to a project. The connection with the University and its resources may enable non-profit agencies to increase their visibility and more effectively reach their goals.

The Shepherd Poverty Internship Program
The Shepherd Poverty Internship Program places students in eight-week internships with nonprofit and government-funded agencies in a variety of human service sectors throughout the U.S. Participating students are eligible to receive summer housing for in-person internships as well as a modest food stipend. Shepherd internships prepare students from all majors for lives aimed at diminishing poverty and enhancing human capability through professional and civic efforts.
