We present a specialized internship program which gives students the opportunity to sit on a non-profit board of directors and to participate in executive-level committee work for a full academic year. Program goals include exposing students to strategic-level decision making, facilitating the growth of students’ professional networks and building university-community relationships. The program has been in use at a small New England university for the past 5 years and 21 students have successfully finished the program. Preliminary results indicate that program goals have been met and many of the expected benefits of the experiential learning approach have been realized.
