The Student Service and Leadership Collaborative

  3. About Us

The Student Service and Leadership Collaborative is dedicated to developing students into servant leaders.

Students apply and work as interns with nonprofit internships, get experiential learning, as well as local and national leadership experiences. As servant leaders, students enhance their self and cultural awareness.

How The Collaborative Works

  • Nonprofits provide students with internship experiences while students get paid and make a difference in our community. Students gain valuable skills, experiences, and connections.
  • Every year, we welcome a new cohort of students into The Collaborative. Students can apply at the end of each spring semester through Handshake to begin their year of service as an intern. Internships run through the upcoming fall and spring semesters from when you are hired through the application process.
  • Apply on Handshake (for students)
