DPCS Boston Community Health Internship

DPCS Boston Community Health Cohort Internships are partnered internships developed by the Dartmouth Center for Social Impact. We work with vetted, innovative nonprofits to design robust impactful internships.

Boston Community Health Internships introduce students to the human side of health. Boston has a long history of leading the country in change. Boston Community Health Internships enable students to continue that storied tradition of changemaking through full-time community health internships with leading nonprofits. Internships are supported by Dartmouth Partners in Community Service (DPCS). 

About the Program

  • 10-week full-time summer internship (summer 2024 dates were June 8 - August 17 * these dates subject to change each year).
  • Interns are provided a stipend that helps offset summer living costs
  • Interns are matched with an alumni mentor through DPCS
  • Regular professional development programming

Housing and Living Stipends

For our cohort internship program, DCSI coordinates and pays for student housing. The housing in Boston is apartment-style with shared bedrooms and bathrooms.

Because DCSI pays for housing, the stipend check you receive is for your transportation from Dartmouth to your internship site, as well as living expenses during your internship such as groceries and public transportation. In 2024, the estimated stipend amount for Boston was $1700.

How to Apply:

Applications for the Summer 2025 program will be due in early April 2025.
