Summer Internship Opportunity-Finance Intern

Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County (CSC), a special district created 30 years ago by Palm Beach County voters, provides leadership, funding, services and research on behalf of the county’s children so they are born healthy, safe from abuse and neglect,  ready to learn when they enter school, and have access to quality afterschool and summer programming.

CSC benefits the community in a number of ways. CSC's focus is on serving all children, not just a particular demographic or economic segment of the population. CSC also serves as an effective way to use local resources more efficiently. We bring key players to the same table, theoretically looking at the whole child (in family and community context).

The funds that CSC invests in primary prevention and early intervention help diminish or eliminate the need for more costly punitive and remedial services that may be needed later in a child’s life.

Increasingly, CSC is focusing our efforts on outcomes and accountability – return on investment.

In line with the commitment to use funds most efficiently, we partner with other community funders (e.g., United Way, school districts, community foundations) in planning and funding, which focuses all funders toward shared goals and outcomes.

As trusted sources of information about a community’s children, CSC educates citizens about children’s issues and create stronger constituencies for children. In this role, CSC has become the hub of child advocacy in a county.
