This report details the 356 interns during a period of two years that have completed projects throughout the southern United States with help from the Resource Development Staff. The interns collaborated with 145 government agencies and 85 southern colleges and universities. Grants worth over $1,000,000 were awarded to the SREB from 1967-1969. The SREB internship program created a practical model for service-learning that meets the needs of community agencies, educational institutions, and students. This article examines the program at Mars Hill College and the city of Charlotte.
The Southern Regional Education Board started a resource development internship project (RDIP) to improve the relationship between higher education to programs of social and economic change by supporting and facilitating roles of universities and colleges in student internships. In the five years prior to this report, 355 interns completed RDIP projects. These projects were sponsored by the Economic Development Administration, Department of Labor, and others government agencies at the local, state, and regional levels. This report proposes solving the absence of comprehensive information pertaining to internship programs.
