S.A.V.E. INTERNSHIPS

Interested in working as a S.A.V.E. Intern with Serve the City Paris?

Serve The City Paris offers a internship program through our S.A.V.E. Program.    S.A.V.E. Program Internships are offered for students of all ages, who have an interest in working with a NGO (non-profit), and creating social impact for cities.    S.A.V.E. Program interns participate in all Serve the City Paris volunteer activities and events, in addition to a series of weekly workshops and special social impact project initiatives we call S.A.V.E. Capstone Projects.   

 

S.A.V.E. Internship Requirements:

  • S.A.V.E. interns must be willing to participate in at least 3 volunteering activities (Action Hours) with Serve The City Paris, per week.
  • S.A.V.E. interns are required to participate a minimum of 6 SAVE workshops (offered at least 1x per week, on Tuesday nights).
  • S.A.V.E. interns are required to do their own SAVE Capstone project, or an intern can collaborate on another volunteer’s Capstone project.

  • S.A.V.E. internships can range between 1 month and up to 6 months.
  • S.A.V.E. Internationships must start in Paris, but the program can be completed remotely.   (SAVE Workshops can be completed remotely through Zoom, individual S.A.V.E. Capstone Projects can be completed remotely, and SAVE volunteer activities (Action Hours) and  can also be completed remotely with a local charity).

 

S.A.V.E. interns will receive the following:

  • A mentor or coach is assigned from the Serve The City Paris Leadership Team, depending on the S.A.V.E. Capstone Project.

  • S.A.V.E. interns can receive school credit.  Documents required by your school can be signed by a STCP Director.

 

All candidates applying for an S.A.V.E. internship must fill S.A.V.E. Application Form, which will be reviewed by the Serve The City Paris Leadership Team.   To apply to the S.A.V.E. Internship program, please start by completing this application form.    Second, requests for internships must also be submitted on email to SAVE@servethecity.paris with a resume, a motivation letter and the desired period of time.    S.A.V.E. Internships are not paid (volunteer status only).

If the S.A.V.E. Application is approved, an interview will need to be conducted (in person or over the phone) with at least one Serve the City Paris Leadership Team Member.

If Serve the City Paris does not have an internship slate available, it is recommended that interns interested in working with Serve the City Paris, still consider joining the general S.A.V.E. Program (which requires less hours of volunteering and workshops).  S.A.V.E. participants are given a priority position for future S.A.V.E. internship opportunities.
