The Southern Education Foundation (SEF) seeks outstanding upperclassmen and
graduate students to apply for their summer internship program which aims
to:
Expose the South's best and brightest college students to
contemporary strategies being mounted by the policy, non-profit,
foundation and business sectors to improve education opportunity and
quality.
Provide such students with inspiration, information, and a top
quality work experience at leading organizations involved in cutting
edge policy and practice efforts to address education problems.
Develop students' research and leadership skills by providing a forum
for independent research and study and for the sharing of knowledge
gathered and lessons learned with peers on campus, in the community
or the workplace.
Students will be placed in leading policy institutes, non-profit
organizations, foundations, and corporations, helping to build awareness of
the interdependence of groups and communities, and the need to improve
public education for low-income students as a means to enhance the quality
of civic life, democratic participation, and economic growth. Since 2004,
seventy-nine students have been placed at various sites including CARE USA,
Georgia Pacific Foundation, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education
Fund, Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation, William Winter Institute for Racial
Reconciliation, Foundation for the Mid South, Center for Women Policy
Studies, Academy for Educational Development, Southern Regional Education
Board, Assisi Foundation, and the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta.
Through this effort, SEF exposes the next generation of leaders to
opportunities to use their talents in service to the public interest.
