Serve-Learn-Sustain Internship Program (Atlanta, GA)

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

SLS seeks to provide our partners with support and resources, while providing our students with practical experience in supporting solutions for sustainable communities. The SLS internship program is offered every summer and is an opportunity for students looking to gain real-world experience related to sustainability and community engagement.   Summer interns will earn internship course audit credit., and can choose between a part-time (15-20 hours per week) or full-time (30-40 hours per week) internship.  The SLS Summer Internship Program is a 12-week program (mid-May to mid-August). Students interested in a part-time internship for the fall or spring semesters can contact SLS and we will work with them to identify partners who may be interested in hosting an intern during the school year.

Students participating in the SLS Internship must enroll in an SLS internship seminar that meets one evening every other week for two hours. The seminar introduces students to theories of grassroots sustainability innovation, and provides students with an opportunity to reflect on their internship experiences. (NOTE: One semester of the SLS Internship Program, combined with the internship seminar, fulfills the ENGAGE requirement of the SLS Innovating for Social Impact Program.)

SLS Summer Interns will receive a Living Stipend of $2500 for a part-time internship and $5000 for a full-time internship, paid in two increments over the summer.  Because SLS internships provide course audit credit for our students, the internship is considered unpaid (i.e. interns will not receive a salary).
