The Diversity Summer Internship Program is a cornerstone program of The Ad Club. The goal is to expose diverse students to opportunities within the Boston Advertising/Communications Industry and to help increase the level of diversity within the industry.

Each year, The Ad Club signs on a number of different companies as work-site sponsors. These companies include Advertising Agencies, large organizations with Marketing Departments, and Media Outlets. The number of internships available varies each summer based on the number of positions available.

The Ad Club acts as the facilitator of the program by reviewing submitted applications, scheduling interviews, and placing the accepted students at the varied work-sites. The Ad Club acts as the main contact for all aspects of the program leading up to the summer. Once the program begins in June, the main contact becomes the work-site supervisor, who remains the contact for the entire 10-week program.

During the 10-week program, the interns will work approximately 40- hours per week at their work-site. Hours will vary based on the company work schedules. Interns will also attend Friday Forum advancement sessions where they will hear from varied industry professionals and have the chance to see the inside of major companies in the Boston area. Interns will also have the opportunity to meet with program Mentors and participate in an Intern Community Service Day.

This program provides students with the opportunity to break into the Advertising/Communications industry, the opportunity to meet many professionals and the opportunity to network with peers. This is a paid program. The total stipend for the summer is $3200.

In order to be considered for this program, each applicant must complete the entire application and must submit all additional required materials listed on the application. This opportunity is for minority students who are going to be juniors, seniors or graduate students in the fall of '05 and who plan to pursue a career in the industry. The program runs from June 6- August 12, 2005.
