Internship Openings

TechGirls Internships:

TechGirls connects and supports the next generation of women leaders (ages 15-17) from 38 countries/territories in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a dynamic summer exchange program. For young professionals interested in international exchanges, Legacy can offer a way to meaningfully contribute via an internship. See how impactful, transformative international exchanges are developed. Two internships are offered this Spring (early-March to late May): Track A - International Exchange intern focuses on program development, monitoring and evaluation; Track B - Communications Intern focuses on social media, marketing and storytelling. These are fully remote, part time opportunities open to those based in U.S. A modest stipend is offered.

Please check in mid summer to learn more about available internship opportunities.

This is an initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, administered by Legacy International.

Reflections from recent Legacy interns:

Former TechGirls Intern

New Jersey

"I’ve grown so much since starting this internship! This was my first internship, so I developed both my hard and soft skills. I’ll be able to take my knowledge of proposals with me along with new social media techniques. This internship is a perfect fit for a student. I gained valuable work and personal experience through a flexible and an accommodating work schedule."

"I think this is a great organization from which to learn about different aspects of nonprofit communications and management. Culturally, everyone is so encouraging and helpful, which makes it an exciting and supportive place to learn, work, and try new things."
