Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning

Designed for students with a commitment to service, the Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning challenges students to explore and participate in social change in the Greater Boston Area. During the 10-week program, students reside together in Boston while undertaking full-time internships with local not-for-profit organizations. Led by Wellesley College faculty, staff, and not-for-profit practitioners, a weekly seminar integrating experiential and traditional classroom learning benefits not only the Wellesley interns, but also the communities in which they serve.

• Work a total of 40 hours a week;

• Attend weekly meetings and seminars;
• Complete all required reports, projects, and readings;
• Attend mandatory orientation meetings sponsored by the CWS;
• Return all student contracts and paperwork as required by the CWS;
