Social Enterprise Fellowship Program @ CBS

This email just came in related to the social enterprise program at Columbia. Basically, the school helps to subsidize students who spend their summer working with non-profits, NGOs, etc. Pretty cool...

Are you interested in working for a nonprofit, NGO or government organization this summer? How about with a social entrepreneur or a social venture capital firm?

Join us to learn about the Social Enterprise Summer Fellowship Program which provides support to students pursuing internships in these fields. First-year and second-year students graduating in the spring can apply for summer fellowships, and J-term students can apply for full-time 2-week mini-internships. This program is available to all Columbia MBA students. To learn more about the program please visit http://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/socialenterprise/careers/internships.

Last year we supported 37 students in the US and around the world. Students have contributed their business skills to organizations including:

Acumen Fund | Agora Partnerships | Alzheimer’s Association | Ashoka | Asian Development Bank | Blue Ridge Foundation | Clinton Global Initiative | Committee to Encourage Corporate Philanthropy | Community Development Venture Capital Alliance | Community Resource Exchange | Dalberg | Department of Health and Human Services | Echoing Green | Education Pioneers | Endeavor | Environmental Defense | Fate Foundation USA | Freedom From Hunger | Investors Circle Foundation | National Resources Defense Council | New York City Economic Development Corporation | Planet Finance | New York Philharmonic | Nonprofit Finance Fund | Robin Hood Foundation | Sesame Workshop | Terra Nova Advisors | Teach for America | United Nations Development Program | United Way | Women’s World Banking…and many more!

If you have any questions about the program, are considering applying for funding, or are in the midst of pursuing other opportunities but might consider a social enterprise internship please contact Larcy Cooper at ldc2106@columbia.edu.
