2025 WAICU Nonprofit Internships
Internships are now closed for the 2025 season. Thank you for your interest in supporting our nonprofit partnerships!
Through the generous support of two benevolent foundations, WAICU is able to offer 16 summer
internships. Spend your summer working for a great nonprofit organization. Student interns receive a $4,000 summer stipend and a $6,000 scholarship in exchange for 400 hours of work over 10 summer weeks. Interns gain valuable experience in the nonprofit sector and get a summer of amazing experiences, as well as attend the WAICU Internship Institute, which will be held at Marian University in the spring. Internships are located throughout Wisconsin and offer a wide range of opportunities for many different majors.
Interns are selected by the nonprofit organizations to which they apply.
Please contact Taylor Hooker, WAICU Director of Outreach & High School Partnerships, at taylor.hooker@waicu.org or 608.204.5237 with any questions.
