Social Innovation Projects—On-Campus Internships
Social Innovation Projects (SIP) is an on-campus internship program that allows students to work on projects for top-tier social innovation organizations. While writing and editing are needed in all our projects (see power.byu.edu), English majors have human-centered skills (like project management, critical thinking, creativity, and communication) that are critical to any project’s. Furthermore, with an interdisciplinary team of students and a strong mentoring infrastructure, a student of any experience level (i.e. Freshmen, students with zero business/tech experience, etc.) will have all the tools necessary for a successful project with the Ballard Center. This is a great way to learn and become exposed to interesting opportunities in other fields. Below are just a few of the organizations you could work for this semester. Apply now for the project of your choice!
