Internship Information

Celebrating 40 years of advocacy

The California Coalition for Rural Housing is proud to announce its 19th Annual Internship Program for Diversity in Rural Nonprofit Housing and Community Development in California, Oregon and Washington State.

We are currently recruiting for the 2016-2017 Program year, which begins in June 2016 and ends in May 2017. Selected interns are placed at nonprofit housing developers and services providers serving a dire need for habitable affordable housing.

This is a very unique and dynamic internship program for students interested in learning about what it takes to build affordable housing and strong communities in underserved, diverse, rural and emerging areas by using technical, qualitative and business skills in working for social change. We specifically target minority students who come from low-income, rural and/or immigrant backgrounds with a strong commitment to improve the quality of life of low-income communities. This opportunity is open to all majors. Application deadline is April 15, 2016.

Please visit our website to learn more about this opportunity that can open the doors to a rewarding and fulfilling career by building affordable housing and contributing to community development. https://www.calruralhousing.org/#!leadership-development/c8on or watch this former intern testimonial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR42LKnGi98
