Hire KC Launches Its Annual Micro-internship Program
The 2024/25 Hire KC program is now open! Thanks to another grant provided by Bank of America Charitable Trust, we are able to continue our journey towards making a tangible difference in building capacity at nonprofits, and in the lives of local students. Hire KC is a fully funded capacity-building college internship program for our esteemed nonprofit partners and Solutions Lab Ventures Fellows!
At KC Digital Drive, we have always believed in the power of partnership and collaboration, and investing in the next generation of leaders. The Hire KC program not only benefits nonprofit organizations and startups but also empowers students and delivers valuable real-world experiences while making a positive impact in our community.
Here’s what this program entails:
- Building Relationships: One of the most valuable aspects of this program is the relationships that are formed between interns, nonprofits, and our organization. Through collaboration and shared experiences, we create a network of support and solidarity that strengthens the fabric of our community.
- Empowering Nonprofits: By partnering with local nonprofits, we aim to strengthen the capacity of these organizations to fulfill their missions effectively. Through the support of interns, nonprofits will be able to expand their reach, enhance their programs, and better serve the needs of our community. It’s a win-win situation where everyone benefits!
- Fostering Innovation: We believe that fresh perspectives and innovative ideas are essential for driving positive change. Our college interns bring new energy and creativity to the table, challenging us to think outside the box and explore new possibilities. Together, we can find innovative solutions to the complex challenges facing our community.
- Capacity Building: Our college internships are not just about fetching coffee or making copies; they’re about providing meaningful opportunities for students to develop essential skills that will serve them well in their future careers. Through hands-on experience, mentorship, and training, interns will learn how nonprofits operate and contribute to meaningful projects that align with their interests and career goals.
We are incredibly grateful to our donors and supporters whose generosity has made this program possible. Their belief in our mission and commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders inspires us and delivers greater outcomes.
