ExxonMobil is funding summer
internships for college students at 30 nonprofit organizations, including AIDS
Service Dallas (ASD) and Legacy Counseling Center. The Legacy intern will
assist the program director of Legacy Founders Cottage.
Melissa Grove, Legacy’s executive
director, describes the program director’s job as coordinating care of persons
at the house, ensuring that the house is moving smoothly, getting individuals
to appointments, and picking up medication and groceries. ASD’s Chief Executive
Officer Don Maison describes their intern’s position as working with the
children living at the facility to keep them off the street.
In addition to Legacy and ASD, other
agencies available for interns are the Center for Nonprofit Management, which
has been a resource for a number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
(LGBT) and AIDS organizations; and Promise House, which partners with Youth
First Texas for emergency youth shelter and transitional living. Additionally, arts
organizations such as Dallas Black Dance Theater and Undermain Theater have
open ExxonMobil intern positions.
Interested college students should
contact the agencies.
