Middlebury College is deeply committed to the future of Vermont. Through the MiddWorks for Vermont Cohort Internship Program, CCI funds student internships at Vermont organizations that strengthen the state’s economy, workforce, environment, education system, health, equity, and arts and culture.

Each internship offers hands-on experience, strong mentorship, and insight into why Vermont is an exceptional place to live and work. Students participate in cohort programming and typically live together in Burlington or Middlebury.

Funding: Interns receive a $5,000 (Churchill Funds) CCI award to support their summer experience.
Housing: Available for a fee at Middlebury College or Champlain College in Burlington.
Requirements: CCI-approved résumé; participation in cohort meetings; completion of pre-internship forms, a post-internship evaluation, and a donor thank-you letter
Eligibility: Open to returning Middlebury students. Seniors graduating in May 2026, students not enrolled in Spring or Fall 2026, and those planning to transfer are not eligible.

This internship is supported by the Robert Churchill Memorial Internship Fund. The fund was created in memory of Professor Bob Churchill, the founder and director of the GIS program at Middlebury College, who trained more than 900 students in different aspects of GIS and cartography. Many of these students are now leaders in the field.

 

Be part of a program that celebrates Vermont—its people, places, and potential.
