Applications for Community Internship Programme open

Applications for the Community Internship Programme are now open. This programme funds hapū, iwi or community groups with an identified development need to employ a skilled professional from the public, iwi, private or community sector as an intern for three to six months.

The skilled professional temporarily leaves their paid position within the public, private, iwi or community and voluntary sector organisation to work as the intern for the host community organisation for three to six months fulltime. The programme is designed to achieve "specific capacity-building outcomes for host hapū, iwi or community organisations, and relationship-building outcomes between the public, private, iwi or community sectors."

The 2013 funding round closes on 11 September 2013. For further information, see the Community Matters website.
