Welcome Our 2016 Summer Interns
Toure’ Burgess, Lauren Hamilton, Lauren Wells, Mara Goldman, Sarah Stellwag, and McQuillin Murphy
The Council of Foundations’ summer interns are here!
From now through August, our interns — all currently enrolled college students from across the country — will be working in the Council’s office helping to advance the good work of our members and to expand the reach and scope of philanthropy.
In addition to gaining invaluable work experience, Council interns will participate in unique professional development opportunities including an HR: 101 course, site tours of local member foundations, one-on-one meetings with senior Council leadership, team-building workshops, and more.
We are excited to have a fantastic group with us this summer. Look out for blog posts written by, emails coming from, and meetings and phone calls this summer with:
