The application period for 2008 internships is now closed.
Eligibility Requirements
All current or past Illinois DCFS youth who are enrolled in college and/or participate in Youth in College or Youth in Scholarship are eiligible. Students must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. College freshman, sophomores and juniors are welcome to apply.
Past FYF participants may re-apply if they meet the age requirements for YIC/YIS. Past participants must re-apply and are not guaranteed admission to the program. Youth who will graduate in spring or summer 2008 are ineligible.
Selected students will be matched with paid, full-time 10-week summer internships in Chicagoland and downstate central Illinois in a variety of fields. These internships are an amazing opportunity for students to gain substantive work experiences, network and cultivate career-building skills. Acceptance into the program is highly competitive, but we encourage applications from students of all backgrounds and levels of experience.
Find Your Future will not provide summer housing or transportation. Interns will also participate in mandatory pre- and post-internship training sessions.
Interested candidates meeting all eligibility criteria should complete and mail an application, resume and copy of your college transcript to:
