Is your non-profit ready for a fresh injection of talent and innovative support? The University of Cincinnati connects highly motivated students with organizations like yours to tackle real-world challenges and build a stronger Cincinnati.
By partnering with UC, you gain direct access to talented students who are eager to apply their skills to accelerate your mission and boost your operational capacity.
1. Co-op to Careers: Internships & Co-ops
The Opportunity: Connect with talented, career-ready second-year students from various majors for co-ops or internships. These roles provide hands-on support that immediately boosts organizational capacity.
The Financial Advantage: Cost Is Not a Barrier! Through institutional and grant funding (including Federal Work-Study where applicable), up to 100% of the student’s wages may be covered. This removes financial strain, allowing you to focus purely on supervising the student’s valuable contribution to your mission.
Ready to Hire? Email Co-op to Careers Director Willie Clark at willie.clark@uc.edu to chat about collaborating and confirm funding specifics for your placement.
2. Service-Learning Projects
The Opportunity: Engage a multidisciplinary team of students for one academic semester. These class projects are specifically designed to address critical organizational needs, providing focused support without the commitment of a co-op or internship.
Students apply learned skills in areas such as:
– Digital Strategy: Social media, content creation, website development
– Outreach & Design: Graphic design, community outreach, event planning
– Analysis: Data analysis, needs assessments, program design
The Benefit: Gain fresh perspectives, defined project deliverables, and dedicated team support at absolutely no cost to your organization.
