Internship program

Strada internships bring together a diverse cohort of individuals to learn, work, and grow.

The program offers a paid, hands-on learning experience for students who are enrolled in education after high school.

Interns are immersed in a vibrant and supportive circle where they are able to collaborate and network while supporting Strada’s commitment to strengthening the link between education and work. The summer internship program exposes participants to the work of a national nonprofit while they acquire transferable and relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities for future careers.
