How to Apply: Organizations
Important Program Update:
Due to the current economic climate, the Everett Internship Program is being suspended indefinitely.
Over the past 18 years, the Everett Program has introduced 3,000 students to the challenges and opportunities that come with a career in public service. These students have inspired creativity and furthered missions at over 65 leading non-profit organizations.
It is with a heavy heart that the Everett Family brings this successful program to a close. We wish you the best of luck in the pursuit of your organization's important mission.
Current Organizations: Your grant will be automatically renewed for next year unless any issues with your iinterns or your communication with the National Coordinator occured over the summer. If you are interested in increasing your grant to include more interns, please write and submit a proposal summarizing your current intern positions and describing the new intern position(s) to the National Coordinator by September 30, 2008.
Dear Interested Nonprofit Organization:
Thank you for your interest in the Everett Public Service
Internship Program. Established in 1989 by Henry and Edith
Everett, the Program encourages undergraduate and graduate
students to be involved in public service and provides the
public interest community with dedicated, energetic interns.
In the summer of 2008, 200 Everett Interns worked at 65 organizations dedicated to making the world a better place for everyone. In 2009, each Everett Intern will receive a stipend
of $280 per week for ten weeks.
To apply to the Everett Program for the summer of 2009, your organization needs
to meet the following requirements:

- Minimum annual budget of $600,000.
