Create & Manage Your Nonprofit Internship Program to Build a Talent Pipeline

Building a leadership pipeline through a paid internship program helps your organization prepare and plan for the future.

Interns get a sense of what the nonprofit does and allows the nonprofit to evaluate future talent. As nonprofits, it is important to plan for the future and build a talent pipeline. This workshop will focus on how to tap into skilled volunteers to build a pipeline for leadership. Specific topics include how to recruit interns, structure projects that are mutually beneficial, how to supervise interns, create virtual or hybrid internships, the importance of stipends and payments for interns, and how to use internships to build a talent pipeline for the future. Real examples will be given of nonprofits utilizing internships.
