This two-year internship program is designed for post-graduates seeking an in-depth, hands-on experience in cooperative extension. The program provides a unique opportunity to engage in experiential learning, allowing participants to develop practical skills and knowledge in community engagement, agricultural outreach, and extension services.

Each Intern/Fellow is paired with an experienced Extension mentor who provides guidance throughout the program. Participants will be assigned a project that involves program development, execution, evaluation, and reporting, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the extension process. Additionally, interns and fellows actively assist their mentors and other extension professionals in their day-to-day programmatic responsibilities, gaining real-world experience in planning, organizing, and delivering extension activities.

Interns and fellows are expected to have reliable transportation upon acceptance into the program to facilitate participation in various field activities, workshops, and community engagements.

Eligibility:

• Interns: Post-graduate applicants not enrolled in Tuskegee University’s (TU) graduate school.
• Fellows: Post-graduate applicants who are enrolled in a TU PhD program.

This program offers a dynamic learning experience that fosters professional growth, leadership skills, and expertise in cooperative extension while contributing to meaningful community development initiatives.
