Internship Position

Internship Description: I am unsure with the size of our staff, if we would be able to accomodate interns at this time.  We tend to provide our scholars with such internship opportunities.  Always a possibility if there is a match of our students in the Bonner leaders or scholar program and an internship opportunity that we had to provide a link that way.
