- Twenty Dallas County nonprofit agencies
receive grants to hire talented interns
- Paid internships provide much-needed
summer assistance for local organizations
- Participating students benefit from
valuable experience and professional development
The ExxonMobil Foundation said today that it is providing
$55,000 in grants to nonprofit agencies in Dallas County as part of
its Community Summer Jobs Program.
The program, entering its 29th-consecutive year, supports local
agencies’ hiring of college students to help provide additional
assistance to those in need in area communities. The students, who
themselves will gain valuable work experience while learning about
the important roles nonprofits play, will serve in eight-week paid
internships.
“ExxonMobil’s Community Summer Jobs Program is designed to
strengthen the ability of local nonprofit organizations to serve
community members in need,” said Kevin Murphy, president of the
ExxonMobil Foundation. “It also provides college student interns
with a rewarding experience that teaches the value and importance
of service.”
ExxonMobil’s program engages students in a broad range of
activities with nonprofit groups, from conducting vision tests for
children and evaluating treatment plans to bolstering social media
and launching marketing campaigns. In addition to daily internship
duties, students will participate in a group service project and
benefit from professional development over the course of time they
spend with the organization.
To qualify for the program, students must be enrolled
undergraduates returning to an accredited university full time in
the fall.
This year, the students selected to participate range from
sophomores to seniors at universities across the country, including
the University of Chicago, University of Georgia, University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of North Texas.
The students’ areas of study include marketing, political science,
sociology, biological science, statistics and communication, among
others.
