The Community Impact Internships Program (CIIP) is a competitive, paid summer internship cohort program housed within the Center for Social Concern at Johns Hopkins University. The program pairs JHU undergraduate students with nonprofit organizations and government agencies to work on community-identified projects. The goal of this program is two-fold; to give JHU undergraduates an opportunity to be directly involved in a community in Baltimore City and to support the important work being done by nonprofits and government agencies. The cohort of the 2017 Community Impact Internships Program worked throughout Baltimore City in a variety of organizations focusing on ten interest areas; education, homelessness and poverty, neighborhood improvement, environment and sustainability, criminal justice and government, healthcare and health policy, community gardens and food access, arts, nonprofit management, and women and family wellness. After this seventh year of CIIP, 325 undergraduates and over 100 community partners have been able to participate in this program, contributing over 88,000 hours of work throughout Baltimore’s communities. This program is made possible thanks to generous gifts totaling over $2.25 million from a private donor. The Center for Social Concern is the student life office dedicated to community service and civic engagement and is under the umbrella of Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood Student Affairs (HSA). Our Mission: The Center for Social Concern emphasizes the value of service with others, rather than the commonly accepted concept of service to others. The volunteers and community members enter into an educational process where both benefit from the interaction and reciprocal learning is the common ground for all of our initiatives. Our programs and efforts are striving to create a “better community” in and around the Johns Hopkins Campus.
