To apply for an internship, please submit an online application via our careers page .
On ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡'s Careers page, you will then be able to view all open internship positions and filter based on your preferred location. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis each semester and will close once the candidate has been selected. Interviews for selected candidates are currently being conducted virtually.
Internships here are organized in semesters: Fall, Spring, and Summer (please note, it is certainly possible to serve as an intern for more than one semester). The deadline to apply varies by semester, so please contact the Volunteer Coordinator for specifics. We typically get a large number of applicants, so we encourage interested candidates to apply early. It is also important that if your school or internship program/sponsor has specific deadlines that you include those. We can be flexible with our application process, but we will have to know in advance if you need an early acceptance notification.
Following the interviews and to protect our clients, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ requires all selected applicants to complete background checks. We will ask that you make a $51 donation to help us cover the associated costs. Currently, 92% of our funding goes directly to programming to support our clients, and your help to cover this cost will ensure that no funding is directed away from serving our clients.
