Applications are now open for Leadership Tomorrow, Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City’s paid summer internship program.
Leadership Tomorrow immerses exceptional Jewish college students in Kansas City’s non-profit community. Internships in top-rated organizations are designed to provide learning opportunities and position students for future success.
Interns can earn up to $3,300 working in a variety of fields, including fundraising, public affairs, strategic planning, project management and more.
Leadership Tomorrow offers students the opportunity to:
- Network with other Jewish college students
- Receive 1-on-1 mentoring from community leaders and professionals
- Gain valuable, real-world work experience
In a survey of recent Leadership Tomorrow alumni, 85% of respondents said the experience had a significant impact on their learning and development; 92% would recommend the program to other college students.
“Because of Leadership Tomorrow, I have had the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the community and have learned a lot about my potential,” one former intern wrote.
In addition to their internship placements, the interns will work in groups to research, construct and present a grant proposal for a selected Kansas City non-profit. Last year, generous donors provided up to $6,000 to be given to a local nonprofit; the amount of money received was influenced by the quality of the presentations. This year’s recipient was Reach Out and Read Kansas City.
Leadership Tomorrow was founded in 2013 by a group led by Irv Robinson to expose students to different ideas around entrepreneurship, leadership, and philanthropy, and to encourage strong Jewish leadership in future generations.
To date, there have been 79 students involved and almost $24,000 hours of work provided to the community across 37 different area nonprofits. The program has awarded $98,000 in grants to 20 area nonprofits.
