Making the transition from student life to a successful career requires skills not being taught in high school, college and bootcamps.The Internship project provides an opportunity for students to work on open source projects in the fields of software, product development, project management, and UI/UX research and design at LA’s fastest growing Civic Tech non-profit organization during their summer. The interns gain confidence, competence and deliverables, filling the skill gap as they learn how to:

• Take initiative, conduct research and ask for guidance
• Resolve team member availability blockers
• Collaborate with people of all ages and skills
• Document their work
• Network outside their departments
• Find mentors
• Present education and work experience on their LinkedIn profile

Summer 2022 Internship applications are closed. There will not be a summer internship in 2023. Check back January, 2024.
