During the past 20 years the Foundation has invested more than $600,000 to fund 210 internships. Our intention then, was the same as it is now: to introduce outstanding students to potential careers in community journalism. Two decades into this amazing program, a large number of intern alumni have pursued careers in journalism and we have invited several of them to be guests at NYPA's spring convention next April, where they will share the stories of their career trajectory. The students aren't the only beneficiaries — interns provide much needed staffing during busy summer vacation periods. In its 20th year, the internship program continues to provide remarkable work experiences for interns and a tangible impact on the future of journalism. There are several ways you can support NYPA's internship program. You may elect to add the amount to your dues payment, or make your contribution through "GoFundMe" which you can find the link on our site at www.nynewspapers.com.
