1A Letter from the Internships co-chairs
Greetings,
On behalf of the APPLES Service-Learning program and the Carolina Center for Public Service, we extend
our deepest gratitude to you for your shared interest in public service and commitment to community
engagement, especially amidst this pandemic.
This packet details all of the available APPLES internship positions for Summer 2023. The organizations
cover a spectrum of professional development opportunities offered to UNC-CH students, including
communications, marketing, event planning, fundraising, program development and teaching. Each
APPLES internship position offers students one-of-a-kind, developmental experiences in areas of
education, public policy, journalism, public relations, advertising, business, psychology, sociology and
many more.
All of the internship opportunities are designed for students to gain professional experience. APPLES
interns agree to complete up to 320 hours of work, receive a $4,000 stipend, and enroll in a one-credit
hour service-learning course in the Spring semester through UNC’s School of Social Work and Carolina
Courses Online.
As former interns, we can personally attest to the power of the APPLES internship program. Through
sustained partnerships, APPLES and its community organizations provide mutually beneficial relationships
that enhance both student learning and community partner success. While students receive a stipend and
course credit, their contributions assist with projects that uphold the mission and values of the community
partners. Together, this dynamic relationship creates a unique and impactful internship experience.
We encourage you to use this packet as a resource — a survey of all of your options. Information about
each internship site and the respective position description is detailed in this packet. Should you have
