Internships open doors for student job placement. However, for students who need part-time jobs and financial aid to pay for college, unpaid internships are impossible to complete. The Long Beach Community Internship Program (LBCIP) is a collaborative internship program that creates pathways for CSULB juniors and seniors who are Long Beach Promise Students to engage in meaningful paid internship opportunities while they apply coursework to real world settings, hone professional skills, network, and explore local career opportunities. We are intentional about establishing a COMMUNITY of support for interns that includes LBCIP Team members, internship course instructors, and supervisors at their internship site placements.
Help create bridges for Long Beach Promise students back to their communities to work, live, and thrive.
For students who need part-time jobs and financial aid to pay for college, unpaid internships are impossible to complete. Gifts in support of the Long Beach Community Internship Program are an investment in people because receiving a paid internship can help a student pave the way to reaching their full potential.
Over 80% of CSULB students work to support themselves and often their families, 71% of undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid, and 55% of bachelor's degree recipients are first in their family to receive a university degree. Internships open doors for these students' job placement.
