The Experience of Hosting an Intern

When you sponsor an intern through CRF's Expanding Horizons Internships, you are opening the door for an enthusiastic, motivated, and hardworking low-income high school student. The interns bring a contagious energy to their work and job sites benefit from improved office morale and the opportunity to mentor youth.

• Interns will work five days a week for a total of 33 hours/week.
• Job sites also choose from two summer sessions: Group A (June 25 – July 27) and/or Group B (July 9 – August 10)
• Job site supervisors determine intern tasks based on the needs of the workplace. Your intern will gladly help you organize your office, deliver the mail, file important documents, catch up with data entry, and complete any administrative tasks you need accomplished.

For information on how our job sites employ their interns, please read our sample work schedules or download our Job Site Supervisor Guide.

How Interns are Selected

Prospective interns submit extensive applications containing all of the information found on a resume, along with a one-page essay, and two letters of recommendation. CRF than interviews all applicants and prescreens based on general job readiness, career interests, and qualifications. Job sites interview 2-3 intern candidates per position and select the one they feel best meets their needs.

Sponsoring an Intern

The sponsorship fee is $2800 per intern. Sponsors may also underwrite the cost for an intern to be placed at a non-profit job site designated by the sponsor or CRF. Special arrangements are made for non-profit organizations and government agencies unable to pay the sponsorship fee. If you are a for-profit corporation, please download the Sponsorship Agreement Form. Non-profit or government job sites please download the Sponsorship Agreement Form for non-profits.
