Social Entrepreneur Internship

We aim to develop confident young leaders who are socially conscious, professionally competent, and globally aware. By experiencing and contributing to public education in underserved immigrant communities in the Greater Boston area, interns improve their self-confidence in a culturally diverse work environment and develop greater social, emotional, and ethical maturity. Through internship opportunities working on social projects supported by U.S. federal, state, and local governments, they not only become better citizens but also build the foundation for promising careers.
