This internship requires a commitment of approximately 10 hours per week.

General Internship Information
Internships at UWGLV are available in most of our business areas year-round. We are highly flexible with start and end dates for internships.
Open to individuals of any age over 14, in a formal educational program or not, who demonstrate they are developing new professional skills and would benefit from the opportunity to work and learn in our organization.
Will work on projects that go beyond that which the organization expected to accomplish with regular employees and which are not core to the achievement of the organization s mission.
An intern is expected to get as much from the work experience at UWGLV as UWGLV gets from the intern. The supervisor of an intern anticipates a break-even exchange of time invested in mentoring the intern versus work product contributed to the organization.
It is not the purpose or intention of this program to allow prospective employees to work for free to demonstrate their skill set or prove their suitability for employment. Candidates applying for stipend internships for this purpose will not be accepted.
Not compensated for their time or work.
May serve as an intern for no more than 1 year or no more than 950 hours.
