Carleton’s Mentor Externship Program connects students with alumni or parent volunteers over winter break for short and highly active/engaged internships that include home-stays. A premium is placed on alumni/student conversations to and from work, after work, over meals, or at your local coffee shop. It’s about work as a part of life and is a relationship-centered experience. Fill out the Host Enrollment Form here.
