The Dane G. Hansen Foundation & K-State Research and Extension are giving Jewell County Community Development the opportunity to hire two paid interns for Summer 2018. It is open to college students from any accredited College or University. Preference is given to students from Northwest/North Central Kansas.
The first position is a Downtown Revitalization Intern. This intern will be pursuing an Architecture/Construction/Planning, Communications/Public Relations/Marketing, Community Development, or Graphic Design / Printing / Publishing degree. The position will be working on concepts and programs to revitalize Jewell and Mankato downtowns. As buildings are torn down, a plan is needed to keep the downtown alive. The answer might be a community green space or a new building. With the assistance of an intern, Jewell and Mankato would like to develop a downtown revitalization plan to map out opportunities for the space.
The second position will be a Wellness Center Design intern. This intern will be pursuing a degree in Architecture/Construction/Planning, Communications/Public Relations/Marketing, Community Development, or Health & Safety. The communities of Jewell and Mankato are in the process of planning non-profit wellness centers for each community.
