Kauffman Foundation Internship program 2018

2018 Internship Program

The Kauffman Foundation Internship program will engage a diverse group of 15-20 college students (undergraduate and graduate level) in a paid summer internship experience with three components: meaningful project work, civic engagement and professional development.

We seek college students who are intellectually curious and passionate about our mission. Specifically, we seek interns who want to partner with us to eliminate barriers so that every person – regardless of their background – can take risks, achieve success and give back to their communities.

We know that diverse teams are high-performing teams; therefore, we seek college students with different perspectives and life experiences.

Eligibility requirements:

• Available for full time, paid work June 4-July 28 (all interns will be onsite at the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City, Missouri).
• Currently enrolled in college courses, undergraduate or graduate level (enrolled and/or completing courses in Spring 2018).
• Committed to completing substantive projects in the areas of entrepreneurship, education and/or Kansas City Civic. (More information is available about our mission and priorities on our website.)
• Committed to professional development, network development and civic engagement experiences (these experiences will be part of the Kauffman internship program).

How to apply:

• Send a cover letter indicating which intern position you are interested in applying for, your resume and a 1 minute video that answers 3 questions (you will not be judged on the quality of your video):
  • Who are you?
  • What do you care about?
  • Why are you interested in an internship at the Kauffman Foundation?
• Applications that do not indicate interest in one specific internship position will not be considered.
• Send to internresumes@kauffman.org

Deadline to apply is January 31, 2018.
