Non-Profit Summer Internship Program
Empowering Students Through Paid Summer Internships
Students already making a difference in their communities are continuing that work through funded summer internships, supported again by The Nord Family Foundation and Employers Health. Nord Family Foundation internships return to non-profits in Lorain County, while Employers Health funds opportunities across Portage, Stark, Summit, Tuscarawas, and Wayne Counties.
These internships provide hands-on experience, professional growth, and real-world skills, while helping non-profits access dedicated talent—cultivating the next generation of nonprofit leaders across Ohio.
