Health + Humanities Internship Funding

Each year, up to three students will be awarded funding to support internships in health + humanities with  organizations that contribute to healing through narrative. This support is made possible by the Center for Community and Global Health and a grant from Mellon Foundation. 

Think your summer plans might be eligible for financial support? Great! Answer the following questions to find out:

• Have you found an internship you’re excited about at the intersection of health + humanities? We encourage applicants to think boldly and broadly about this definition!
• Is the organization you will be interning with local to Oregon or does its work support people locally?
• Is the internship position unpaid or underfunded?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, you are a good candidate for funding!

We are happy to discuss!

All Center for Community and Global Health community partners are engaged in healing through narrative within Portland communities—how they do that is unique to each partner. Meet current community partners here.
