WHO CAN BE AN INTERN?
Any high school freshman to graduated senior who has completed the application process. We follow a professional process for application review, interviewing and hiring interns.
WHAT ARE THE PROGRAM DATES?
June 1 - July 28, 2026.
The expectation is to commit to full-time employment for the duration of the summer. There are 2 tract options: employment and volunteer. The employment tract interns receive a salary and make a full-time commitment for the summer. The volunteer tract interns are not financially compensated but still able to participate in PIP activities.
WHAT DO INTERNS DO ALL DAY?
Our days vary throughout the week and include things like daily devotionals, community outreaches, business field trips, and educational sessions led by local business leaders. The schedule is designed to expose students to things outside of their comfort zones in order to make them well rounded both personally and professionally. Interns will host 3 community outreaches each week at different locations around Russellville, where they will play with kids to build intentional relationships.
HISTORICAL SUCCESS
Since our launch in 2021, graduated PIPs have had a very high success rate of receiving college scholarships, being accepted into the Kentucky Governor's Scholar Program and finding future employment. Because of the skills learned during the program, interns complete the program with a great understanding of what it takes to be a successful employee in any industry. We love partnering with local businesses for job placements after the program.
