Celebrating 15 years of giving students life-changing, paid summer internships at nonprofits.
The Jaggar Community Fellows Program is a competitive program for nongraduating students (first-year through graduate students). The program is open to all majors and provides students with an opportunity to gain valuable experience in the nonprofit sector. For the summer 2025 program, approximately 20 undergraduate and 5 graduate students will be chosen from the applicant pool.
The Jaggar Community Fellows Program has provided me with an unparalleled opportunity for professional growth and community impact. The structure of the program, the support provided, and the chance to work with an organization like Morrison Mentors have all contributed to making this an invaluable experience.

Internships are a foundation of an Adelphi education and one of the best ways students can prepare for careers. From shadowing surgical technicians at an eye bank to researching nanotechnology in Poland, our students spent the summer of 2024 having extraordinary internship experiences.
MS student Samuel Sey spent the summer conducting research as one of Adelphi’s competitive Jaggar Community Fellows. Unique to Adelphi, Jaggar internships advance student careers with paid internships while supporting important nonprofit missions.
Senior Kennie Dionísio is a computer science major and communications minor, but his focus has shifted after interning at North Shore TV.
In our 10-year anniversary video, see how our prestigious internship program helps students —and strengthens non-profit organizations.
Working in the nonprofit sector, you have to wear many hats…. it gives our students that varied experience that they need and that is valuable for them going forward into their future careers.
