Intern Impact The Foundation’s internship program encourages the best and the brightest among recent area high school graduates to return to the area after their college years. Internships are also a terrific way to introduce these students to non-profit organizations which may also be looking for their future leaders. In 2017, the fifth year of the program, multiple foundations,includingtheErieCountyCommuni- ty Foundation, provided funding for internships at six host non-profit organizations: Care and Share; Main Street Vermillion; Perkins Township; Sandusky Artisans Recovery Community Center; SanduskyLibraryandFollettHouseMuseum;and Serving our Seniors. Most non-profits are understaffed. The addition ofabright,energeticsummerinternhasamean- ingful impact on each organization’s capacity to impact our community.
