Internship Program
Greenlights’ Internship Program is a great hands-on experience for anyone who wants to learn about the nonprofit sector. This is a project-based internship program directly supporting the mission and goals of Greenlights. Joining our team as an intern requires a commitment of 12-20 hours per week, and the intern must be available at least three days per week with a regular schedule. Greenlights’ internships are unpaid, however, we are happy to work with you if you would like to receive course credit.
Current internships are available in the following focus areas: Consulting, Development and Membership, Marketing and Communications, and Education. Greenlights works with each intern’s skills and interests to develop a successful project work plan and professional development program.
