Serving Communities Internship Program (SCiP)

Alberta nonprofit organizations register, create, and then post meaningful, part-time internships to help achieve their missions.
Students register, then search, and apply for internships available on the database.
Students work together with the organization to meet the goals and expectations of the internship.
Upon completion of the internship the students apply for and receive a $1000 bursary from the Government of Alberta (at no cost to the organization).
