Interns are important to us, and you’ll find opportunities for:

Real work experience

You will be doing work that a full-time employee would do. You’ll be part of the team, so there isn’t a typical day. You’ll be working on whatever problem they are trying to solve.

Professional Development & Networking

We have around 150 students in our summer program each year. Those connections are what will help you get future jobs. We provide lots of opportunities for you to meet up with them to build relationships.

Community Involvement

As a non-profit we believe strongly in giving back to the community. Interns can act as consultants for local non-profits to help solve some of their challenges.
