ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
Hometown Interns will work alongside their local affiliated funds on a mission to discover and unleash their community’s assets. A Hometown Intern is a high school graduate who has spent at least one academic year away—whether at school, the workplace, or elsewhere—and lives in their hometown for the summer. Qualities of a Hometown Intern include curiosity, open-mindedness, a desire to see their hometown through fresh eyes, and a drive to contribute to the future of their community. Interns will be compensated for their work, but housing will not be provided. Travel reimbursement and lodging for peer retreats and other NCF events will be provided.
Important: Hometown Internships are available only in communities with an NCF affiliated fund that is community based. Find out if your community has a fund at www.nebcommfound.org/give.
