Volunteer Houston and ExxonMobil announced today that 65 local
nonprofit agencies have been selected to participate in the 2008
ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program. College students wanting
meaningful summer internships can now apply for paid internship
positions that offer both practical experience and insight into the
value and importance of nonprofit work. �Real work experience and
exposure to the nonprofit sector is what the ExxonMobil Community
Summer Jobs Program has strived to offer college students for
several years now,� said Steve Cassiani, president of ExxonMobil
Upstream Research Company. �For the past 11 years, the program has
provided Houston-area nonprofit agencies operating on limited
budgets the added support they need during key summer months.� Now
in its 11th year, the Houston-area ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs
Program enables selected agencies to hire a college student for an
eight-week internship to assist with the heavy workload and low
staffing often associated with the busy summer months. In addition
to regular job responsibilities, interns will attend a day-long
development seminar designed to broaden their exposure to the
nonprofit sector, volunteerism and community needs. �We are
grateful that ExxonMobil has brought this program to life for us,�
said Carrie Moffitt, CEO of Volunteer Houston. �The Community
Summer Jobs Program cultivates a new generation of individuals who
are inspired to pursue careers in the nonprofit sector, serve as
board members or become lifelong volunteers.� ExxonMobil will
provide grants totaling more than $195,000 for intern salaries and
Volunteer Houston expenses associated with the program. Volunteer
Houston will offer participating agencies training in recruiting
and selecting interns and managing an internship program. Since the
program began in 1971 in New York City, ExxonMobil has provided
more than $7 million to support almost 3,500 community summer job
internships in ten states including: Alabama, Alaska, California,
Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia and Wyoming,
and internationally in Angola. In the Houston program alone,
ExxonMobil has provided more than $1 million to place more than 500
college students in summer internships. ExxonMobil Community Summer
Jobs interns will be selected by the participating agencies. The
intern must be a currently enrolled, full-time, undergraduate
student who will be returning to college as a full-time (minimum 12
credit hours per semester) sophomore, junior, or senior student in
the fall of 2008. College students interested in internship
positions may contact the selected agencies directly. For a list of
