Want to work with a non-profit?
Would like to go back home (within the US) or travel within the US?
If so, apply for up to $4000 through Tucker's funding (DPCS, domestic, U.S. based opportunities) for leave-term, service internships to work with a non-profit serving an under-resourced community!
"I learned why it’s better to serve someone, rather than help them, and meet them where they were. No matter which field I enter, I will be able to use that skill and enact positive change"
