Community Scholars Program
The Department administers community internships. Many internships are funded through the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Trenton. They are offered during the regular term and in the summer. The goal of the Community Scholars Program is to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations by providing comprehensive assistance to agencies actively involved in affordable housing, economic development, or community development. Rutgers University students majoring in urban studies, public administration, or related majors will have an opportunity to apply their academic knowledge to challenges facing the nonprofit community. You may be engaged in grant-writing, development and implementation of business and marketing plans, organizational management, community outreach activities, etc. We are looking for responsible individuals with strong organizational and communication skills to participate in this paid internship program during the upcoming fall and spring semesters. In the past students have worked for such agencies as Neighborhood Housing Services, Camden, and the Neighborhood Preservation Program, Fairview Village, Camden. This is a competitive program. Interested students should contact the Program Director. Both federal work-study students and non work-study students are eligible to apply
