Host
We are eager to place participants age 16-30 into 12-week long internship programs at businesses in a variety of sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and more. Participants will work 15-20 hours per week for an hourly rate of $15, and receive support & ongoing training during the program.
Partner
If you believe you can offer a meaningful position and would like to have an intern placed within your organization or company, but cannot currently meet the the base salary, please reach out to us about our Easterseals partnership to help supplement a position.
Donate
If you are unable to accommodate an internship, you can still support the program through a donation. All funds donated are tax deductible, and will be used to help supplement the salary cost for the interns.
