On June 13th, 353 interns from 12 area businesses will complete volunteer service projects at 15 local nonprofits for our 7th Annual Intern Impact Day coordinated by Volunteer Center of the Lehigh Valley.

Intern Impact Day serves as an educational and impactful day of service that connects interns from local businesses to support area nonprofits, gain a greater sense of community, and help build relationships. Attracting and retaining talent for major companies is key; helping the interns to have an increased sense of community with new connections can be a decisive factor in staying in the Lehigh Valley. Fully aligned with the Volunteer Center’s core focus, Intern Impact Day connects resources to local nonprofits to make a difference – community impact starts at the Volunteer Center.

The program launched in 2019 with 200 engaged interns. This year 353 interns will make an impact across the community.

Quotes from Interns:

“I loved this entire event. It felt amazing to be a part of a community that helps and aids one another, and to know that our companies support this act of togetherness.”

“My intern impact day felt so impactful. I was able to make a change right here in my hometown and now I am able to show my family and friends how I helped out in my community.”

“It's amazing to help not only another organization but it helps the community surrounding it. Plants, veggies, and even fruit will grow in the next coming weeks because of our help that day. It will provide those in need with healthy supplements for meals, and show the people on the outside on how they could make a difference to the community.”
