When selecting a site for an internship, there are several places to look: local organizations (possibly affiliated with your college or university), state-wide organizations that may have opportunities near your home town, or national organizations that may have opportunities on the other side of the country.
AmeriCorps is a national organization that offers 75,000 positions at nonprofit groups around the country. Full time, part time, and summer positions are available.
Full-time AmeriCorp members receive a modest stipend and a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award of $4,725 to pay for college, graduate school, or to pay back student loans. Part-time participants receive a partial stipend.

An incredible and unique place I found for internships in the last spring was: www.groupereye.com
This site lets companies post cases and lets students solve them with their ideas. The best case solution gets a job/intern consideration! They ran a highly successful pilot program last spring and they are going for a launch this September. And yes, the site also has regular job and internship listings.Definitely worth checking out.
