"Think Globally, Act Locally"
Immersive summer internship programs to expose students to social, economic, cultural, and environmental issues that shape their work. Upon completion of the internship, DukeEngage students will have a deeper understanding of the community context in which their host organization in Durham operates. Students may choose from over 30 local non-profit agency programs, which have been approved by DukeEngage for student service placements, including organizations in the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership. More than just an internship that can assist you in building a career in the non-profit sector, DukeEngage Durham is also the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history, culture, and social issues of your local community. Orientations, trainings, readings, special presentations, historical and neighborhood tours, weekly reflection sessions, journals and blogs will help you internalize and deepen the value of your chosen service work.
