Community Fellowship

About the Community Fellowship

The Inasmuch Foundation Community Fellowship connects college undergraduate and graduate students with nonprofit organizations in Oklahoma City for a paid summer internship. Fellows are matched with a participating nonprofit based on their application answers and areas of interest and although the host sites vary each year, past sites include Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County, Diversion Hub, OKC Dodgers Foundation, Palomar Family Justice Center, and Sunbeam Family Services. Host sites do NOT need to be a current Inasmuch Foundation grantee to apply, and there is no cost to the host site for participation in the Community Fellowship.

Fellows should expect to perform a wide range of tasks dependent on placement. Fellows earn $15/hour and work 40 hours a week during the summer.

Any college undergraduate or graduate student may apply, but preference is given to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who will continue their education in the fall. Fellows should be passionate and hard-working with an interest in nonprofit work and a commitment to making OKC a better place to live, work, and play. Commitment to the entire length of the program is expected.

As part of this program, Community Fellows will also be registered to participate in the InternOKC program organized by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce. Through participation in this program, each fellow will have the opportunity to network with over 300 peers from across various sectors. InternOKC enables Inasmuch Community Fellows to develop resources for the transition from college to career and discover why OKC is the perfect place to live after graduation.
