Internship opportunities for teen in health/child/social justice
Hi Berkeley and Bay Area Parents!
I have a 16 year old about to enter her Jr year and she has decided to complete an academic program where she gets to intern somewhere for 4 hrs a week. We aren’t well connected in the area, and so many opportunities arrive by ‘who you know’ so I am putting our requests out into the network to see if anyone can suggest somewhere/someone. The program is pretty broad, but her interests lie in social justice and early childhood development, and she’s a great people person and writer. Friday or Saturday would be her best working day, and she’s ok going outside of her immediate neighborhood.
Happy to hear everyone’s thoughts!

Greetings,
My nonprofit organization Together We Stand has worked with many interns and we would be happy to discuss an opportunity for your daughter to intern with us. We are a social justice organization, you can find out more about us at our website Twsrevolution.org

Not sure if they do internships but may be a good start!
I don’t know what the timeline is for taking on new participants, but the Lawrence Hall of Science has a teen intern/volunteer program that includes opportunities for youth to work with visiting children. The program runs year round and has various areas of specialization.
