Exercise 22

You are an alum of ______ (your school). You currently work as the director for a local nonprofit organization (you pick the organization). Recently, your school's Center for Career Services contacted you asking if you would be willing to provide an internship for current students at your school. These students would be juniors and seniors majoring in accounting, finance, management, or marketing, though the Center for Career Services thinks marketing and management majors would be most interested.
You are willing to provide the internship. You can offer 15 hours a week to someone who would be willing to help with marketing, public relations, social media advertising, and general office tasks. The intern would assist in writing grant proposals and perhaps presenting reports orally and in writing to the organization's board of directors. What you cannot offer, though, is financial compensation. You're a nonprofit organization that is not, nor is ever likely to be, in a position to pay an intern.
Write a response to the Center for Career Services explaining what you can do and minimizing any negative news.
