• Provide a valuable internship experience that, when coupled with sequential training, can contribute to the educational experience of students and encourage them to make connections between their academic work and their career aspirations.
• Create a learning community of students engaged in thinking about the nature of nonprofit work, the dynamics of community change, connections and overlaps between academic and community work, and active citizenship.
• Enhance the capacity of nonprofit community organizations to utilize student interns effectively.
• Strengthen partnerships between the Swearer Center and community organizations and expand Brown’s support of community organizations and the City of Providence. If accepted, students are guaranteed a summer internship placement.
• iProv is a fellowship; in addition to an internship, students participate in regular workshops and meetings with other fellows.

The iProv Summer Fellows may satisfy the practicum requirement for students participating in the Engaged Scholarship Certificate.

• Fellows participate in and complete an eight—to ten-week summer internship, which runs from early June through early August. 
• Fellows live in RI (either on campus or off campus) during the duration of their summer iProv Fellowship.
• Fellows are matched with a community partner organization and internship. The program facilitators facilitate this match-making process with input from both student applicants and community-partner employers.
• Fellows attend a program recipient orientation before the start of the program.
• Fellows participate in weekly learning seminars throughout the program.
• Fellows submit a written reflection about the iProv experience. This reflection is due by September 1.
