High School Programs

High School Internship Program

NBCF is partnering with Frisco ISD to bring the students of Frisco our High School Internship Program.

Each intern will spend one month at NBCF immersing themselves in the non-profit culture and learning how the various departments work together to support the mission of the foundation. The first two weeks will be spent in Programs, Development, and Marketing to learn about the day-to-day operations of NBCF. There will also be a session each week that the intern is with us to learn about resume preparation, interview skills, public speaking, and other important professional topics relevant to working in any environment. The last three weeks of the internship will be spent working on a group project that will be presented to senior staff.

High School Ambassador Program

The National Breast Cancer Foundation High School Ambassador is a volunteer position for interested sophomore, junior, and senior students. A High School Ambassador will act as an NBCF representative at all designated High School Ambassador events, and be responsible for increasing awareness of NBCF’s mission and programs, as well as providing students with information about fundraising opportunities. The High School Ambassador must be a self-starter with a great desire to help others. He or she must be energetic, outgoing, and creative with outstanding communication skills.

The NBCF summer internship has been an amazing five week stretch that has opened my mind to how a nonprofit business operates. All of the staff has been incredibly warm and helpful, and collaborating with other interns was an incredible highlight of the program. The environment of the office was a delight to work in every day, and close friendships I have developed makes me proud to say I am part of NBCF.

" The NBCF internship exceeded all my expectations unlike typical internships with mundane tasks. It provided valuable lessons in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and pursuing interests outside of academics. Moreover, I learned the remarkable impact of an optimistic attitude and a warm smile. The inclusive and welcoming atmosphere of NBCF really enhanced its mission and made working so fun. I am so grateful for all the mentors I was able to meet and their insightful advice. This will definitely be an internship I will never forget and I look forward to being more involved with NBCF in the future. "
