Shepherd Internship Program
SIP
The Shepherd Internship Program (SIP) unites students from member institutions with agencies that work to benefit disadvantaged communities and members of society. Students learn first-hand about the multiple dimensions of poverty in the United States by working for eight weeks to strengthen communities and work alongside individuals seeking to improve their communities. The agencies, located in various urban and rural sites in the United States, focus on education, healthcare, legal services, housing, hunger, social and economic needs, and community-building efforts. Students work with agencies that fit their intellectual interests in order to develop their experience and skills for future civic involvement and employment.
