Researching Domestic and International Summer Opportunities
Many national summer internship and research opportunities begin to post announcements in Dec-Feb. Please check the listserv as well as this “Prehealth Bulletin”. Please also consider looking at the category – “Summer Opportunities” on the right side of the “Bulletin” and look at past postings. Many programs from last year will be conducted again for the summer of 2008, but the programs may have not yet updated their site. Continue to the look at future “Bulletin” announcements or go directly to the site noted for updated information for 2008.
United Way
You can search nationally under the United Way site . Simply type in your zip code to get to specific regional United Way sites. This is an excellent way to begin your search and you will find that volunteers are needed in multiple contexts of life; your help is needed.
Other Summer Resources
Please check the following website for a state by state listing of other summer opportunities.
You may need to check with some of the programs to see if eligibility requirements have changed or if they are still in existence. Be sure to pan down all the way to the bottom past the state listings for additional sources.
