Explore careers related to the Social Good community.

Career community focused on serving the public interest, analyzing and setting policy, and ensuring fundamental rights are upheld at the local, state, national and international level. Opportunities may include serving students and the community through education and advocacy at think tanks, nonprofit, governmental and educational institutions.

Use the sub-communities to: explore careers and gather career information; explore internships and jobs; research graduate school options; gain tips, advice and information from other students and alumni; learn about employers; get involved with campus organizations; and increase your network through professional associations.

Interested in nonprofit management, community engagement, or organizational operations? Mt. Hope Family Center is recruiting undergraduate students from all majors for a hands-on internship involving program coordination, community resources, events, and grant administration. Students can earn 2–4 academic credits through PSYC 394 and apply at https://redcap.link/mhfcadmininternapp.

If you’re interested in volunteering in the community in spaces like the crisis nursery, or would like to get involved in crisis prevention or education, please check out The Center for Youth in Rochester. They offer both internships (unpaid) and volunteer opportunities. This link details volunteer opportunities, but students are also welcome to reach out to Kyle Vosburgh (kvosburgh@centerforyouth.net) for more information.

A personal statement of purpose for a PhD application is very unlike the college admissions essay. Join industry professional Dr. Steven Torrisi to learn how statements of purpose work, view examples that helped people get into top graduate schools, and the principles of how to draft one effectively. Stay afterwards to write your own!
