Applications are now being accepted for Carsey Social Innovation Internships http://www.carseyinstitute.unh.edu/social/social-internships.html. Whether you're already committed to a career at the intersection of mission and business, or curious how to apply your major's skills towards social and environmental good, the eight-week Carsey Social Innovation Internship will:  

• Connect you to leading for-profit and nonprofit organizations for a rigorous and meaningful summer internship;
• Provide UNH training in social entrepreneurship; and
• Support you to mobilize your UNH peers during the school year.  
• All this, along with a $2500 stipend!
