Dartmouth Partners in Community Service (DPCS) is currently sponsoring five interns for the winter term. These Dartmouth undergrads are working in such diverse community service organizations as Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, MD; Legal Aid of Western Missouri; Boston Center for Refugee Health and Human Rights; and the Women's Information Services (WISE) in Lebanon, NH. In mid-February the Tucker foundation will start interviewing candidates for spring term internships.
One other exciting development: DPCS is launching a DPCS post-grad internship program. That means, DPCS will be interviewing recent (or soon-to-be recent) Dartmouth graduates for one-year internship positions with carefully selected host organizations. This is a brand new program and New York and Washington, D.C. will be the "pilot" cities before the post-grad program is rolled out to other parts of the country.
Please let us know if you'd like to be a mentor for a DPCS intern or if you work closely with a community service organization in your area that you think would love to have a Dartmouth student.
As always, we would love your donations (of money or time) to help get as many Dartmouth students into the field. Please go to www.dartmouth.edu/DPCS to donate or see how you can get involved with our class project, DPCS.
Thanks,
Jessica Slosberg Benjamin and Ricki Stern
