A new partnership between the Cooperative Extension System and the Department of Defense has provided the funding for a national, military childcare/youth development internship program. Through this initiative, students and recent graduates will have the opportunity to develop professional skills in childcare and youth development through practical work experience with military children, youth, and families. Interns’ compensation will include travel to and from the internship site and housing for the duration of the placement. Interns will be placed on military installations across the United States with some opportunities for international placement.
The Military Extension Internship Program is accepting applications through March 26th for internships beginning August 8th and lasting through the fall. More information and application materials can be found at www.extension.purdue.edu/military <http://www.extension.purdue.edu/military> , and we are happy to answer any questions you may have. Specific questions re: the internships may be referred to: Amy Schott, Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service, aeschott@purdue.edu
