Agencies accepting applications from college students for summer
intern positions
ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program matches talented college
students with 30 nonprofit agencies for paid summer internships
Positions provide range of experience for students to help community
ExxonMobil Foundation announced today that 30 North Texas nonprofit
agencies will participate in the 2012 ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs
Program.
'The Community Summer Jobs Program opens doors in the workforce for
students while also making a significant impact in our community,? said
Suzanne McCarron, president of the ExxonMobil Foundation.
The program provides much-needed assistance to nonprofit agencies while
giving college students valuable work experience and a better
understanding of the important role of nonprofit organizations.
Paid summer internship positions involve students in a range of
activities such as coordinating housing for area residents to developing
summer programs for underprivileged children. In addition to daily
internship duties, students will also team up for a group service
project. Qualified college students interested in gaining hands-on
experience in the nonprofit sector this summer are encouraged to apply.
To be eligible, applicants must be current undergraduate students
returning to college as a full-time (minimum 12 credit hours per
semester) sophomore, junior or senior in the fall of 2012. Interested
students may contact the selected agencies, listed below, directly to
request applications and learn more about available opportunities.
Since 1990, the ExxonMobil Foundation has contributed more than $3.7
million dollars to fund the program in Dallas, subsidizing 1,535
internships and benefitting more than 300 agencies.
Since the program began in 1971 in New York City, the ExxonMobil
Foundation has provided more than $17.3 million to support nearly 4,700
community summer job internships. For more information, visit www.exxonmobil.com/community.
