The Community Service Fund creates and funds internships with community service and public service organizations for Princeton students. While the internships are primarily summer jobs, they also include a few longer-term positions for recent graduates. This year, the Fund expects to provide financial support for several international summer internships. Applications will be available in early January 2001, and will be posted on the Princeton Career Services Web page. Interested students can obtain detailed descriptions of available positions and applications for internships at the CSF office.
Interns work as research assistants, while pursuing their own independent research or study.
Other internship opportunities may be available on a more ad hoc basis in Greek businesses or banks, Greek ministries or state agencies, environmental and women's organizations, agricultural cooperatives, summer camps, etc. A description of the current available internships can be obtained from the Hellenic Studies Program and from the Office of International Internships. Knowledge of modern Greek is helpful but not required. Candidates are required to submit a detailed statement of purpose, academic transcript, curriculum vitae, and two references. The program has obtained two internships for Princeton undergraduates at the Itau Cultural Institute in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
