Interns work on military installations around the world for 10 weeks to 6<sup> </sup>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. <br> <br>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.<br> <br>Interns will be placed on military installations across the United States with limited opportunities for international placement.<br> <br>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 <a href="http://www.extension.purdue.edu/military">www.extension.purdue.edu/military</a>.
