Are you looking to make an impact? Intern with the Impact Center! Our internship program offers excellent opportunities to gain valuable experience with an entrepreneurial, mission-driven organization. This internship opportunity is exclusively virtual.

The Impact Center is a national organization that empowers leaders to leverage their talents, skills, and passion in order to have a greater impact on their organizations, communities, and our society.

The Impact Center’s internship program fosters professional development for graduate students and skilled undergraduates. Interns collaborate with our staff on key projects to develop strong analytical, research, marketing, and writing skills. Our internship program is unique because we offer interns autonomy to be creative and innovative while being mentored by our staff to deliver on key projects.

Ideal candidates will be highly-motivated self-starters with strong communication skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team. Commitment to getting results in a fast-paced collaborative environment is essential. We expect interns to be available to work remotely at least 30 hours/week from early June through mid-August. Schedule and start/end dates are flexible.
