INTERNSHIPS
High school and college students are matched with local businesses throughout northwest and north central Kansas for both work study opportunities during the school year and paid, summer internships.
Students gain professional skills and broaden their perspectives on career options. Local businesses benefit by networking with youth, bringing fresh ideas to the workplace, and “interviewing” students for potential future jobs – all of which contribute to youth retention to our small, rural communities.
This is a great opportunity for students and businesses, alike.​​​

"I think everyone should become an intern because it provides opportunities that a regular job doesn't. Nex-Gen works hard to ensure you have a fun summer...I have loved being a part of Nex-Gen and hope to continue to be with them in the future!"
Business Applications open August 1-December 1!
Open to ALL Northwest and North Central Kansas businesses!

"Nex-Gen is a great opportunity for people to get exposure on what a community is really about and what happens behind the scenes to make our communities better. For me personally working at the foundation gets me prepared for my future plans. The foundation helped me build some strong characteristics like being a good leader, being organized, having good communication skills and many more. I want to thank Nex-Gen for making these opportunities possible for me and many others."
