College Internship Program
Looking for hands-on experience that makes a difference? Our College Internship Program gives students the opportunity to work directly with Roanoke City Public School students while gaining real-world experience in youth development, education, and nonprofit programming.
Interns become part of the CYP team and help with academic support, enrichment activities, field trips, and day-to-day programming. We welcome college students interested in education, social work, psychology, nonprofit leadership, recreation, and other youth-focused fields.
Paid and unpaid internship opportunities are available.
Compensation and hours vary by position.
