Internships
Do real work for a real nonprofit.
The Flash Forward Foundation internship is an unpaid, department-based program for high school and college students. Interns pick a track, take a short course and complete at least two real projects, with weekly reviews from managers and mentorship from experienced executives. The online application takes a few minutes.
