Job Duties:

The Shelton Challenge Summer Intern is a vital part of the Challenge programs of the Shelton Leadership Center (SLC). The intern will assist the SLC staff in providing positive, impactful learning experiences to Challenge students and staff. Interns work in conjunction with the full-time office staff to ensure the Challenge programs are planned and implemented with a high level of quality.

This paid internship will allow students to gain experience in a variety of leadership, event planning, and administrative skill development. Competitive candidates will have a strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to work in a team environment. Past Shelton Challenge experience is preferred, but not required.

The Shelton Leadership Center was founded in 2002 by General Hugh Shelton following his retirement as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. His desire to give back to his alma mater NC State University, prompted him to initiate a scholarship program. Soon, his efforts grew to include educational programs and organizational development training focused on developing the next generation of values-based leaders.

The Shelton Leadership Center's value-based leadership development programs now reach pre-college, college students, and professionals within multiple settings, including NC State and other higher education institutions, corporations, government entities, non-profits, and youth development organizations.

The Shelton Challenge is a six-day, residential program built on the Shelton Leadership Center's core values-compassion, integrity, belonging, and social responsibility-and is designed to help high school students enhance their capacities to become values-based leaders. This immersive program is designed to transform potential into real-world skills through mentorship, self-reflection, and shared discovery.
