Are you interested in learning more about youth and/or program development? Do you want to impact thousands of youth throughout the metro Denver area? Denver 4-H is the Youth Development Department of the Colorado State University Extension Office. We serve our diverse, urban community utilizing passionate adult leaders in community clubs, school enrichment, special programs, events and out-of-school activities. In 4-H, we are interested in supporting those passionate adults in a partnership with young people, working to achieve their potential. While adults help youth, we often find the adults see their own interests and passions come alive when working alongside a child.
Denver 4-H is seeking self-motivated interns interested in helping us develop our curriculum and facilitate our summer and after-school youth programs throughout metro Denver. Applicants able to utilize research to compile advertising materials (brochures, videos,etc.) are preferred. Interns will get the opportunity to work with a variety of our staff in multiple areas related to youth development.
What we require:
-Application on 4HOnline
-Background Check
-4H Orientation/Training
-Strong communication skills, self-motivated, and organized intern
-Interest in working with a diverse group of individuals
Our internship programs are greatly customizable, as we want you, the intern, to get the most out of the experience as possible. Through this internship you will have a direct link to Colorado State University and multiple professional development opportunities. You will also have the chance to work in both a professional environment and out in the field with youth, enabling you to network with our many community partners.
