During the academic year there are many college students of various qualification whom will work pro bono for nonprofits. For the summer interns will be looking for a paid internship. The use of a year round internship program within your nonprofit organization is a great opportunity to find candidates and test them before placing them into permanent positions. The cost to your nonprofit is low for this type of employee. It is just $10-$13 an hour and no benefits.
Nonprofits or any organization looking for individuals whom have lots of energy, are willing to learn and willing to receive feedback should use interns.
If your nonprofit organization has staff who know how to multi task and train people, take advantage of the intern workforce.
