Shell Summer Intern Program

Shell’s Nonprofit Internship Program is a win-win-win effort for the Company, non-profit organizations and participating college students. Launched in 2008, the program provides $2,500 grants to 30 non-profit agencies to hire qualified college students to work eight weeks during the summer months. Agencies are selected based on their work in three key areas of social investment targeted by Shell: education, environment and diversity.

For Shell, it is an avenue to support Houston-area nonprofits whose work aligns with the company’s social investment initiatives.
For agencies, the program is an opportunity to receive much needed support during the busy summer months, when program needs often increase and volunteer support decreases.
For students, it’s a chance to get hands-on experience in their field of study and learn new skills while making an impact in the community.

Volunteer Houston manages the summer internship program, matching qualified agencies with college applicants in meaningful positions that meet both the agencies’ needs and the students’ career goals. In addition to the work experience, Shell sponsors and participates in three networking events during the eight-week program, enabling students from universities in Texas and across the country to learn more about Shell and to network with each other.

The 2012 Shell Internships will be announced in the spring.
