IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExxonMobil Foundation announced today that 30 North Texas nonprofit agencies will participate in the 2012 ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program.
“The Community Summer Jobs Program opens doors in the workforce for students while also making a significant impact in our community,” said Suzanne McCarron, president of the ExxonMobil Foundation.
The program provides much-needed assistance to nonprofit agencies while giving college students valuable work experience and a better understanding of the important role of nonprofit organizations.
Paid summer internship positions involve students in a range of activities such as coordinating housing for area residents to developing summer programs for underprivileged children. In addition to daily internship duties, students will also team up for a group service project. Qualified college students interested in gaining hands-on experience in the nonprofit sector this summer are encouraged to apply.
To be eligible, applicants must be current undergraduate students returning to college as a full-time (minimum 12 credit hours per semester) sophomore, junior or senior in the fall of 2012. Interested students may contact the selected agencies, listed below, directly to request applications and learn more about available opportunities.
Since 1990, the ExxonMobil Foundation has contributed more than $3.7 million dollars to fund the program in Dallas, subsidizing 1,535 internships and benefitting more than 300 agencies.
Since the program began in 1971 in New York City, the ExxonMobil Foundation has provided more than $17.3 million to support nearly 4,700 community summer job internships. For more information, visit www.exxonmobil.com/community.
