CLG INTERNSHIP PROJECTS

We continue to accept students seeking to develop a custom internship project. An internship with CLG can help define your purpose and educational direction. We request you be currently enrolled in a community or state college. It helps that you be interested in business administration, public administration or other entrepreneurial direction. Please contact us if you're interested.

Here's a  CLG Internship Application and Flyer for more information.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.  It's not. ~Dr. Seuss

Volunteers are the lifeblood of nonprofit organizations. From their board of directors to the help needed to do the administrative and manual labor, volunteers keep the nonprofit going.

The CLG Board of Directors has created a volunteer program that provides the support to staff projects and events. New members wanting a garden plot can generate volunteer hours for initial plot rental and event discounts.  Volunteers that generate these non-transferable hours can also use them on a variety of volunteer projects.

According to the Nonprofit Times, volunteerism continues to grow. Individuals over 65 and teenagers contribute the most hours to charitable organizations. These groups and others will continue to want community service options and have more opportunities to create community relationships that support community development.

Wendy Spencer, CEO of The Corporation for National and Community Service, said, "Volunteering is a core American value. Americans who volunteer enrich our community and keep our nation strong. Helping others who are in need and working together to strengthen our communities is an important American tradition that helps make our nation so resilient. Volunteering goes beyond helping people: studies have shown that the volunteers themselves benefit, whether through increased job prospects, better health or even better overall well-being."

In our search for purpose, CLG provides opportunities for volunteers to participate in community service projects. Volunteers will continue to serve as a vital source of support and will ensure the long term sustainability of the community garden.
