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
The ExxonMobil
Foundation announced today that 30 Dallas County nonprofit agencies
will participate in the 2013 ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program.
'The Community Summer Jobs Program opens doors in the workforce for
students while also making a positive impact in our community,? said
Suzanne McCarron, president of the ExxonMobil Foundation.
The program provides much-needed assistance to nonprofit agencies and
helps college students gain 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
implementing summer programs for underprivileged children. In addition
to daily internship duties, students also work on 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 2013. Interested
students may contact the selected agencies, listed below, to request
applications and learn more about available opportunities. Information
is also available at csjpdallas.org.
Since 1990, the ExxonMobil Foundation has contributed more than $3.7
million to fund the program in Dallas, subsidizing 1,565 internships and
benefitting more than 300 agencies.
Since the program began in 1971 in New York City, the ExxonMobil
Foundation has provided more than $17.5 million to support nearly 5,000
community summer job internships.
