The Community Impact Internships Program (CIIP) is a competitive, paid summer internship program housed within the Center for Social Concern at
Johns Hopkins University. The program pairs JHU undergraduate students with nonprofit organizations and government agencies to work on
community‐identified projects. The goal of this program is two‐fold; to give JHU undergraduates an opportunity to be directly involved in a community
in Baltimore City and to support the important work being done by nonprofits and government agencies.
The cohort of the 2016 Community Impact Internships Program worked throughout Baltimore City in a variety of organizations focusing on ten interest
areas: education, homelessness and poverty, criminal justice, health care and health policy, environment and sustainability, community gardens
and food access, neighborhood and community improvement, arts, nonprofit management, and women, children and family issues. After this sixth
year of CIIP, 275 undergraduates and over 100 community partners have been able to participate in this program, contributing over 74,000 hours of
work throughout Baltimore’s communities. This program is made possible thanks to generous gifts totalling over $2.25 million from a private donor.
The Center for Social Concern is the student life office dedicated to community service and civic engagement and is under the umbrella of Johns Hopkins
University’s Homewood Student Affairs (HSA).
Our Mission: The Center for Social Concern emphasizes the value of service with others, rather than the commonly accepted concept of service to others. The
volunteers and community members enter into an educational process where both benefit from the interaction and reciprocal learning is the common ground
for all of our initiatives. Our programs and efforts are striving to create a “better community” in and around the Johns Hopkins Campus.
