Interested students should email Rachel Parr at rparr@riseschoolaustin.org with a resume and cover letter to express their interest in applying for an internship. We ask that students be prepared to share any requirements such as hours needed, or areas of study if they are conducting a research project, so that we can ensure the internship meets their requirements, and that we can provide the best experience for their course of study. Rise is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and internships are unpaid.

The Rise School & COVID-19

Health and safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We continue to monitor the situation in Austin and adapt our procedures accordingly. As the beginning of the fall semester gets closer, we will determine whether remote, in-person, or a combination makes the most sense for our staff. If in-person, the student(s) would report to our Austin office at 4800 Manor Rd, Bldg J, Austin, TX 78723. They would be required to wear a mask and would be screened upon entry for signs/symptoms of COVID-19. Staff will maintain a distance of at least 6ft at all times, and masks will be worn for all meetings or when staff members are in close proximity. If conducted remotely, we will utilize virtual platforms such as zoom to conduct meetings, training, and assign tasks to be worked on remotely. Regular check-ins will be scheduled to ensure the student(s) have a positive and educational experience.
