The Sister Cities Program
Immersive summer internship program designed to expose students to the economic and cultural issues that shape their work. Upon completion of the service placement, DukeEngage students will have a deeper understanding of the community context in which their host organization in Durham operates. Students may choose from a variety of programs, which have been approved by DukeEngage-Durham staff for student service placements. More than just an internship that can assist you in building a career in the non-profit sector, DukeEngage-Durham is also the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history, culture, and social issues of your local community. Orientations, trainings, readings, special presentations, historical and neighborhood tours, weekly reflection sessions, journals and blogs will help you internalize and deepen the value of your chosen service work. Contact: Domonique Redmond, Program Director, at dredmond@duke.edu, or call 919-684-4377.
