UD BlueHensWork:
Funded Micro-Internships in Non-Profit, Public Service and Government
The University of Delaware (UD) supports UD students and Delaware organizations by providing Micro-Internships. These short-term, paid, remote projects provide professional experiences and skill development for UD students while supporting local organizations. The Micro-Internships will be funded through micro-grants offered by the UD Career Center at $600 for a 40-hour project or $300 for a 20-hour project.
Delaware-based non-profit, public service or government organizations are eligible for BlueHensWork micro-grants as long as they select a UD undergraduate student to complete their Micro-Internship. Projects can begin at any time as long as funding is available.
The UD Career Center has a new and easy posting site powered by Parker Dewey. When you are ready to post a project, click on the link below based on how long you think the project will take or to see sample projects. If you are not sure how long your project will take or have other questions, complete the form, and a member of the Parker Dewey team will reach out to you to help.
