The Bonner Foundation Summer Internship

Each summer, the Bonner Foundation hosts up to five motivated, passionate, and talented Bonner summer interns from our network of 65+ Bonner programs. During this eleven-week, paid internship in Princeton, New Jersey, interns gain tremendous professional experience and exposure to the national network. Though their responsibilities slightly shift in focus from year to year, each cohort of interns is immersed in learning to plan and implement national conferences, and engaged in resource design and development for the national network. To support them in their high-level work, they receive extensive training and mentorship from Bonner Foundation staff. Interns also work closely as a team to develop Bonner initiatives.
