Internships Available in Child Development, School-Age, and Youth Development Programs
INTERN IN MILITARY CHILD AND YOUTH PROGRAMS
A partnership between the Cooperative Extension System and the Department of Defense has provided the funding for a national, military childcare/youth development internship program. Through this initiative, students and recent graduates have the opportunity to develop professional skills in childcare and youth development through practical work experience with military children, youth, and families.
Interns are placed on military installations across the United States with limited opportunities for international placement and receive an hourly wage or stipend and assistance with travel expenses for their efforts. Current students may obtain academic credit for this experience if desired.
The Military Extension Internship Program will accept applications for the Spring 2014 class until September 30, 2013. Students will be notified of their application’s status at the beginning of November.
More information and application materials can be found at www.ydae.purdue.edu/military. Specific questions regarding the internships may be referred to: Laura Miller, Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service, at lpmiller@purdue.edu.
