Completing a summer internship with North Carolina Cooperative Extension provides a high-caliber educational experience, and it allows you to build a bridge from college to career. The internships are paid, and interns can expect to:

• Gain knowledge about Extension careers,
• Develop rich job experiences, and
• Help deliver solutions to address local needs.

The internship helps you to consider careers in agriculture, food systems, nutrition, youth development, community development, family and consumer sciences, natural resources, and environmental science. Our internships cover 10-weeks during the summer, and many of our interns choose to receive college credit for their internship experience.

We are looking for students who want to make a positive difference for people and improve local communities through education. Do you have: An interest in an Extension career? An interest in serving your community? A genuine interest in people? A desire to continue to learn and grow professionally? An aspiration to work as part of a team? If you do, we are interested in you! We recruit potential Extension professionals who can lead, teach, motivate, and communicate.
