At National Breast Cancer Foundation, we offer a competitive Internship Program that provides valuable and marketable workforce skills, as well as a comprehensive education on the inner workings of a non-profit. We strive to prepare our interns for future employment opportunities with effective communication skills, resume and interview support, and an understanding of how to adapt to different personalities and workplace cultures. We believe in a program that values the skills that the student brings to the table, as well as one that provides rewarding and challenging work to allow the intern to have a very engaging and worthwhile experience.
Our Past Interns
Our inaugural internship program began in 2013. Since then, we’ve had the pleasure of working with over 35 interns. We are thankful for the relationships we’ve built with these bright, young students and appreciate their ongoing contributions to our cause. See below to learn more about where our interns are now.
