Internships

Integrate for Good (IFG) offers immersive, mission-driven internships for students seeking hands-on experience in inclusive programming, community engagement, marketing, finance and fundraising, events coordination and other aspects of nonprofit operations.

Interns work alongside IFG staff, volunteers, and young adults with disabilities to support programs that build leadership, executive functioning skills, and authentic community belonging. Internships are intentionally structured to provide meaningful responsibility, professional skill development, and tangible, resume-ready deliverables.

This is a menu-based internship program, allowing students to select their weekly commitment and preferred role(s), with opportunities to grow in responsibility across semesters.

All internships are hybrid, with approximately 80% of work completed in person at IFG’s Community Hub on the Ursinus College campus.
