SCC INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

SCC has had several incredible interns that have worked with us for school credit, capstone projects, or grad school projects. The SCC is a small non profit and is only as powerful as its strong base of volunteers. SCC offers unpaid, flexible, remote internships that typically follow the semester schedule.  Please read below for some current project opportunities, but feel free to reach out if you have other ideas!
