The Non-Profit Board Internship program (NPBI) is organized and delivered by Community Service-Learning and the Career Centre.
NPBI was launched in 2006 with support from the Alberta Government Board Development Program.
NPBI provides undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Alberta the opportunity to learn the variety of practices and skills involved in serving on the boards of community-based non-profit organizations. The internship also meets the non-credit opportunity requirement for the Certificate in Community Engagement and Service-Learning.
