Here’s what you’ll get to experience.
We’re excited to launch the pilot Sullivan Service Corps: Asheville Summer Impact Internship in June 2026. This program offers a transformative summer experience for up to 15 college students from the Sullivan Foundation network.
The internship is designed to foster changemaking leadership, deepen systems understanding, and encourage personal growth through hands-on, experiential learning. By engaging directly with local social enterprises, interns will gain firsthand experience in the complexities of community-driven change.
They will participate in practical learning sessions that challenge them to think critically about social innovation, resilience, and sustainable practices, all within a real-world context.
