Program Overview

MBM’s Philanthropic Internship Program enables students to take a deep dive into the world of philanthropy, working to learn the importance of work ethic, team building, communication, and accountability. The program focuses on instilling philanthropic citizenship behavior while equipping youth with the skills that encourage them to explore and research.

​

Philanthropic citizenship education encourages students to move beyond ideas of ‘charity’, instead embracing a ‘social justice mentality’, while focusing on building philanthropic behavior: helping others, local community building, volunteering, social action, charitable giving, and advocacy.

 

The internship is designed to ensure that all youth can contribute regardless of their social, geographic, or economic circumstances.

 

Student-led and adult-facilitated activities ensure that students are challenged to think critically and explore, engage, and grow in areas that interest them, all while being inspired and empowered to create a lasting impact on children and youth in underserved communities across New York City and the Philippines.
