Spring and Summer 2024 Do Good Institute Programs - applications open


As the semester comes to a close, I want to share several spring and summer opportunities from the Do Good Institute. Some of these programs have registrations and applications which are now open and with the due dates in January or February, I wanted to share these now so you can mark your calendars!

The Do Good Institute offers hands-on experiences, funding opportunities, engaging curriculum, and effective programs that prepare Terps with the skills, experiences and resources to Do Good throughout their lives.

  • Changemaker Pathways: Want to Do Good but don't know where to start? Changemaker Pathways is a 5-week experiential program for first-year, second-year, or transfer students to explore ways that you can Do Good in your personal, professional, or educational life through interactive and discussion-based workshops. Learn more and register at go.umd.edu/changemakerpathways.
  • Impact Interns: Looking for a paid summer internship with impact? Impact Interns offers paid summer internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in the social impact and nonprofit sector. Applications will open January 12 and close February 12. Learn more and sign up for an information session at go.umd.edu/impactinterns.
  • Accelerator Fellows: Are you working on a project or social venture that could benefit from coaching, programming and/or financial support? Spend the semester exploring, testing, or scaling up your idea, project, or venture and receive a $2,000 stipend. Applications are now open and close February 4. Learn more and apply at go.umd.edu/acceleratorfellows.
