Intern Support Program: Non-Profit Training Course
Providing Professional Development Opportunities for Youth
In partnership with Eco-Internships, the Capacity Building Institute provides non-profit training to youth under 30 participating in their Intern Support Program.
The training includes a specialized, self-directed, 70-hour training course with 25 hours of live and virtual sessions and roughly 45 hours of readings, video tutorials, and assignments. Additionally, the course includes presentations from non-profit experts on various topics in the sector to provide real-world insight. The youth intern is expected to attend a one-week intensive training boot camp and 2-hour monthly check-ins throughout their internship. In addition to the online materials, there are six assignments to complete. Once all the assignments have been completed, the intern will receive an official “certification of completion” and lifetime access to the course materials.

Each youth intern is assigned to a youth mentor who will help support and guide them in their role to ensure they have a successful internship experience. Mentors are NOT supervisors - instead, they are more like coaches, cheerleaders sounding boards, and supporters.
