Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) has been invited to work with Air Products and the Allentown City Center to develop a college summer intern program. LCCC has received a $5,000 grant from Air Products to cover the costs of three paid internships at non-profit organizations. Other participating colleges are Moravian College, Muhlenberg College, Lehigh University, Lafayette College, DeSales University and Cedar Crest College.

The program creates a cohort of interns from area colleges and universities and offers them opportunities to work in Allentown.

"Throughout the summer, interns will be invited to a variety of networking, social and educational events so that they can become a part of the renaissance of downtown Allentown," said Laurie Gostley Hackett, Air Products' manager of community relations and philanthropyLCCC students will work for Sacred Heart Hospital, as well as at the college's Donley Center and with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms charitable organization.
