The California Coalition for Rural Housing is proud to announce its 17th Annual Internship Program for Diversity in Rural Nonprofit Housing and Community Development in California, Oregon and Washington State.
We are currently recruiting for the 2014-2015 Program year, which begins in June 2014 and ends in May 2015. Selected interns are placed at nonprofit housing developers and services providers serving a dire need for habitable affordable housing.
This is a very unique and dynamic internship program for students interested in learning about what it takes to build affordable housing and strong communities in underserved, diverse, rural and emerging areas by using technical, qualitative and business skills in working for social change. We specifically target minority students who come from low-income, rural and/or immigrant backgrounds with a strong commitment to improve the quality of life of low-income communities. This opportunity is open to all majors. Application deadline is April 11, 2014.
We are currently recruiting from the following locations (students must choose one location for the entire year, therefore cannot start in the summer at one location and be at a different one during the academic year).
California locations:
San Diego (considering undergraduate juniors entering senior year and graduate students)
Sacramento & West Sacramento (considering undergraduate juniors entering senior year)
