Sample cover letter for Internship position at Company

Dear Ms. Name,

I am very interested in your posting for a Community Advocate, which I found through the CareerZone on the St.John Fisher website. My enthusiasm for community building along with my recent Bachelor of Arts in Sociologywith a minor in Psychology, prompted me to forward my resume to you immediately with the hope of furtherdiscussing my qualifications for this position.

In addition to my strong academic background, I have had valuable team building and leadership experiences, bothas Captain of the Fisher Soccer team and in my volunteer work as a Service Scholar. Among the projects ourservice group actively supports are the Habitat Housing Project in the city of Rochester and the new tutoringprogram in the East Rochester High School Math & Writing Center. I was part of an active group of advocates forthose students whose parents could not afford regular tutor fees and later helped to co-design the curriculum.

The posting for Community Advocate states that self-motivation and leadership are key qualities in a successfulcandidate. I believe my background and dedication to service of those in need demonstrates my personal drive tomake a difference in my community. I was also privileged to discover the richness of cultural history and diversityduring my semester abroad at the University of Limerick in Ireland.

I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss how I can make a positive contribution to XYZ organization asa Community Advocate. I can be contacted through email ator phone at __. Thank you very much foryour consideration.

Sincerely,
