Internships
Through Swedemom Center of Giving's partnership with MEDP's McMinnville WORKS Internship Program, we create an opportunity for students to share their knowledge with others, while also gaining new skills and experience. The students' knowledge and skills create new and innovative ideas that can be put to use to make MacHub stronger.
Students can be involved in the intake process where items are sorted, imaged, described, final checked, put away, sold, packaged, and shipped. Previous interns have also contributed to maintaining social media accounts and created marketing campaigns and organized fundraising events.
Meet some of our 2020 MEDP interns in the short student-produced video below.
