We’re excited to offer paid student internships for emerging professionals both virtually or in-person at our office in Oakland, California.
Placements are designed to give interns first-hand experience working within a unique education non-profit seeking to improve outcomes and conditions for BIPOC youth in public K-16 institutions.
