Description
The Student Intern Program, administered by the Polk County Community Foundation, funds summer employment opportunities for local youth by supporting intern salaries at community agencies. This initiative is designed to benefit both students—who gain valuable hands-on work experience—and local organizations, such as arts centers, libraries, animal shelters, and outreach ministries, that need extra help during the summer. The program aims to enhance the quality of life in the Polk County, NC area by fostering partnerships that support youth development and community service.
