Grant Opportunity: Community Summer Jobs Program

From Center Member Volunteer Fairfax:

For the eleventh year, the ExxonMobil Foundation will award 60 nonprofit agencies in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C., grants to fund a summer internship. The Community Summer Jobs Program (CSJP) provides full-time college students with an eight-week paid summer internship to assist nonprofit organizations and gain experience at agencies with diverse mission areas. CSJP also offers training to organizations for recruiting and selecting interns and provides assistance with organizing their summer internships. ExxonMobil CSJP interns help increase agencies’ capacities while giving students the opportunity to learn more about nonprofit careers.

This year, the grant amount is $2,750.

Agencies interested in applying for the ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program (CSJP) grant for Summer 2010 are invited to attend the upcoming informational seminar on Tuesday, October 20, from 8:30 to 11 a.m. in Fairfax. This session is mandatory for new agencies that would like to apply for 2010 summer funding. For security reasons, you must RSVP by Thursday, October 8.
