Servant Leadership Summer accepting intern applications until March 3

The D. Abbott Turner Program in Ethics and Servant Leadership is now taking applications for its Servant Leadership Summer internships.

Servant Leadership Summer is an eight-week funded internship program designed to enable students to deepen and integrate the practical, vocational, and intellectual components of their lives. Students will spend their time working in a non-profit or socially responsible business in the Atlanta area, developing management and leadership skills and learning from ongoing interaction with practicing servant-leaders.

The internship program includes an orientation retreat, placement, eight weeks of on-site work, weekly group meetings, and a post-internship retreat. Servant Leadership emphasizes service to others; a holistic approach to work; promoting a sense of community; and shared power in decision-making.

Previous placements have included: Georgia Justice Project; Atlanta 9-5, Atlanta Working Women; St. Joseph’s Mercy Care Services, Bobby Dodd Industries; Daemon Records; Refugee Family Services; The Community Housing Resource Center; International Rescue Committee, and Salomon Smith Barney.

Deadline for applications is March 3. Applications are available online.
