Paid internship program for CU Boulder students! Open to all majors and degree programs!

The College of Arts and Sciences, through the Department of Political Science, and in conjunction with the CU Boulder Office of Government and Community Engagement, is excited to offer the CU in the City: Community Scholars Program (fall) and the CU in the City: Capitol Scholars Program (spring). These public service-learning opportunities will place up to 15 CU undergraduate students each semester in paid or stipend-supported community-based internships with the Colorado government entities or nonprofit organizations in and around Boulder.

The Community/Capitol Scholars Programs provide unique learning opportunities for undergraduate students to experience first-hand the dynamics of working within government and community-based organizations. The internship experience is enriched through weekly seminars and briefings with leaders from the community.
