Yahoo! is offering ten applicants the chance to spend 10 weeks applying their Web design or marketing skills to non-profit organisations. Yahoo! will give each winner a training course at their California headquarters and a $5,000 grant for their internship.

The non-profits that will benefit are the American Red Cross, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Grand Canyon Association, Habitat for Humanity, KaBOOM!, Médecins Sans Frontières and PBS Online.

Applicants for the Yahoo! Web Corps have to be 18 or older and a registered Yahoo! user. Applications close on March 15, 2000. There is no UK version of this initiative.
