A student internship is another way to connect with university students' skills and energy. An internship is a paid or unpaid position to work on one or more projects for an organization usually for a semester for several hours each week. The internship can be arranged for credit depending on the student's needs. The NPCR Internship Resource Guide explains the elements of a successful internship and lists information and contacts for internship services at Twin Cities universities.

Neighborhood Planning for Community Revitalization (NPCR) is a consortium of Twin Cities' colleges and universities that collaborate with community organizations to enhance the capacity of the partnering organizations. NPCR has several programs to connect neighborhood organizations to university resources, such as its Applied Research Assistantship Grant Program, its Minneapolis Neighborhood Information Systems (MNIS) group, and the University Neighborhood Network (UNN) which arranges neighborhood projects as part of university courses. NPCR is administered by the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA) at the University of Minnesota. For more information about NPCR and its programs please visit the NPCR web site at www.npcr.org or call 612-625-5584.
