Dan Broun Internship

MDC offers a summer internship to honor the late Dan Broun, a staff member who championed place-based strategies to improve outcomes for low-income people in rural communities in the South.

Throughout his career, Dan also worked hard to provide college students with learning opportunities that would help them become leaders and professionals focused on equity and inclusion in workforce development with an emphasis on the rural South.

The goal of the internship, made possible by donations to MDC in Dan’s honor, is to provide two-year and four-year college students with the opportunity to contribute to MDC’s mission and agenda during a summer and to take away skills and insights that will shape the intern’s perspective on the unique challenges and opportunities facing the rural South.

Based on an internal nomination process, a select Dan Broun intern (“program associate”) will receive an additional award/stipend beyond the normal pay rate at the end of the internship period. This award will be based on the intern’s final presentation and other decided upon criteria.
