Social enterprise summer internships

Posted by John King on April 30, 2010 under Social Enterprise | Be the First to Comment

This Summer the Student Microfinance & Development Initiative is sending top students to 158 Leading Social Entrepreneurs of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship around the world to intern.

The internships between June and October on flexible dates will be partly supported by the social entrepreneurs, but the chosen SMDI Fellows are to expect to cover travel expenses and accomodation on their own. Interested students are asked to keep this in mind before applying.

Applicants are to specify one or at most two social enterprises they are interested in working with and the dates of their availability in summer. The Schwab Foundation and SMDI are then going to choose winning applicants and set up the internships with the leading social entrepreneurs.

If you are a student interested in applying to become an SMDI Fellow and join a Schwab Social Entrepreneur over the Summer, please:

Choose a Social Enterprise:

You can find detailed descriptions of the enterprises on

Then apply:

by sending in your CV, a cover letter targeted to the one or two social entrepreneurs you are applying to work with and the SMDI Fellow Application Form (if you are not already an SMDI Fellow):

All applications are due until 10 May 2010 and need to be sent to info@smdi.org.uk
