Spring/Fall College Internship

About the Spring/Fall College Internship

Are you interested in nonprofit management, social services, or working with older adults? DOROT’s College Internship program offers a unique opportunity for rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors to do impactful work while exploring careers in the nonprofit sector. With a strong history of inspiring future leaders, we provide a meaningful internship experience that will give you valuable skills and allow you to make a real difference in the lives of older adults.

Through a semester- or year-long internship, you will learn about social isolation and its impact on older adults, and you’ll gain practical experience through involvement with our programs and services. Interns work on significant projects, engage directly with older adults, and contribute to our mission of alleviating social isolation.

We offer a supportive environment where you can grow professional skills and gain a sense of future career possibilities.

Internship Structure and Details

Most internship placements are hybrid or in-person and require interns to dedicate 8-10 hours per week, excluding school breaks. On occasion, we are able to offer remote internships, depending on our organizational needs. Interns are typically assigned to one or two departments, allowing them to learn directly from their team members and to connect with older adults in specific areas ranging from onsite programming to in-home visits.

How to Apply

In order to apply, you must submit an application and prepare two references. We interview for fall and spring internship placements year-round and accept candidates on a rolling basis until positions have been filled.
