Here are a handful of internships we’ve found and compiled for you! There are a variety of different options for specific career paths and majors, but don’t be afraid to try something new.

Note: Solely summer internships will be included in the Summer Programs section.

<aside> ❗ Tip! Weirdly enough, one of the best resources when it comes to finding internships is through Instagram and other social media platforms. Many colleges will have high school-oriented programs and different organizations post information about internships on their social media pages, often to a smaller audience, thus receiving a lower amount of applications. If you want to get an internship, I highly suggest finding a college club or small organization to intern at, instead of focusing on the few highly competitive, renowned internship organizations!
