Forest Foundation Summer Internship Program

You will make a difference in the lives of others through a summer-long non-profit internship. And you will get paid to do it. You learn about the larger non-profit sector along the way and your role in it. You join a cohesive community of young people who, like you, want to change the world.

You will gather with this community throughout the summer for days of networking, workshops, reflections, and professional development. You form a team with other interns and make real grants to greater Boston nonprofits. You will build on your experiences this summer with enhanced work training, independent projects, and industry connections that will lead to meaningful resume entries and possible future employment opportunities.
