The Blue Ribbon Foundation internship application deadline is quickly approaching. Applications will be accepted through November 30. Our internship program is unique and offers special opportunities for students.

  • Real world experience. Interns aren’t running errands or getting coffee, they have direct responsibility for integral Foundation programs. Students become true members of the Blue Ribbon Foundation team.
  • Networking. Students work alongside professionals with the opportunity to meet hundreds of donors, volunteers and business owners from across the state.
  • Resume Builder. Interns utilize their existing skills and are able to expand their skill set by completing projects they might not have previous knowledge of.
  • Time Management. Working in a fast paced environment teaches students how to multitask, a skill you can use in the future.

In addition to learning and gaining experience, it’s our hope that each intern builds confidence throughout the summer. Internships should help set the foundation for a student’s career.

The Blue Ribbon Foundation is looking for students eager to help meet our goal of making sure committed donors have a strong and lasting relationship with the Iowa State Fair. The Blue Ribbon Foundation will hire two spring semester/summer interns and two summer interns. Again, the application deadline is November 30.
