Internships

Internship Opportunities*

College students who are currently attending an accredited college and have achieved junior status may apply for an internship opportunity at FYC. Students majoring in education or a social science are preferred; however, other majors will be considered. Participants must have good computer skills, excellent written and verbal communication abilities and a passion for working with at-risk youth. Interns must be able to meet the minimum time commitment. FYC offers unpaid internships. A letter written by an advisor on school letterhead that confirms the student will receive credit for the internship must be on file at FYC prior to the intern’s start date.
