HOLMES, PA – The HEADstrong Foundation is actively seeking candidates to serve as interns for the summer 2017 session.  HEADstrong’s accredited internship program is committed to providing students with a comprehensive overview of a working non-profit while engaging students in awareness and other outreach opportunities.

HEADstrong Foundation, a non-profit organization works to improve lives affected by cancer.  The organization serves the cancer community by granting direct assistance to those financially impacted by the disease, provides complimentary long-term housing and amenities for those traveling for cancer related treatments through Nick’s House™, funds  innovative cancer research through the Nicholas E.

This is a non-paid internship however HEADstrong will provide a stipend at the conclusion of the summer based on performance.

“HEADstrong’s summer internship program was one of the most incredible experiences that I have ever had the privilege to be part of and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to participate.  The experience opened up my eyes to the world and showed me how much of a difference HEADstrong is making in the fight against cancer and how the littlest gestures can go a long way.” Kelton Heverly, Mount St. Mary’s University
