[Plsugs] Extension internships Available

[Tanya Quist]

Internships Available in Child Development, School-Age and Youth Development
Programs
 
The Military Extension Internship Program is an opportunity for college
students to gain practical work experience in child development, school-age,
and youth programs. Interns work on military installations around the world
for 10 weeks to 6 months and receive a broad range of experiences, from
working with children and youth and implementing programs, to learning about
the management of child and youth centers. 
 
A partnership between the Cooperative Extension System and the Department of
Defense has provided the funding for this national, military childcare/youth
development internship program. Through this initiative, students and recent
graduates will have the opportunity to develop professional skills in
childcare and youth development through practical work experience with
military children, youth, and families. It is possible for current students
to obtain academic credit for this experience.  Interns' compensation will
include an hourly wage or stipend and assistance with travel expenses.
 
Interns will be placed on military installations across the United States
with limited opportunities for international placement.
 
The Military Extension Internship Program is now accepting applications for
Fall Semester, 2011. Applications will be accepted through March 31, 2011.
More information and application materials can be found at

may have.
