Internships are mutual partnerships. We work with employers who are passionate about helping young people develop as professionals. All of our internships pay Massachusetts minimum wage for full-time work during the 10 week program period. We recruit interns from just about anywhere, though most have some connection to the area, through attending college or growing up here.
