Summer Internship

At 826michigan, interns are an integral part of the work as a youth writing nonprofit. As a volunteer-driven organization, we are greatly indebted to our interns, who take on significant responsibilities each semester with skill and dedication. Internships are mutually beneficial experiences, and interns have the opportunity to engage in ongoing learning opportunities with regular, supported supervision and professional development sessions throughout the semester.
