This "mini-internships" undergraduate program provides students the opportunity to complete short-term projects with social enterprises and nonprofit organizations in a remote capacity for two weeks over winter break. Students gain hands-on experience working with innovative organizations while building concrete professional skills through the completion of a tangible project.
Each winter break, Brown students have the opportunity to work on engaging, high-impact projects for social impact organizations and companies. The projects last only two weeks but provide students with hands-on experience with top-notch organizations, and employers with a pipeline of talented individuals who have the potential to feed into other internships.

Previous participation in a SPRINT-funded program does not prevent you from participating in CCG Winternships. Students may participate in CCG Winternships and still apply for a BrownConnect Signature Program or other SPRINT funding in the future.
Previous CCG Winternships participants are eligible to apply, but should not apply for an opportunity with an organization where you have previously interned.
CCG Winternships connects students with new experiences. Students may not apply for a Winternship with an employer where they have previously completed a internship, whether the previous experience was in the summer, semester or winter.
Students on financial aid receive preference in the selection process.
