JYI Internship Program

Welcome to the JYI Internship Program!

Are you a junior or senior in high school looking for a unique and comprehensive learning experience? Look no further than JYI's one-month internship program!

At JYI, we believe that the best way to learn is by doing. That's why each intern will work 15 hours per week, shadowing an executive member in one of the following roles:

• Associate Editor Intern

• News and Careers Intern

• Translations Intern

• Copy Editor Intern

• Development Officer Intern

• Communications Officer Intern

• Operations Manager Intern

• Finance Intern

The JYI internship program is much more than just work. It's an experience that includes ceremonies, game nights, masterclasses, and other activities designed to help you grow and learn.

During the opening ceremony, you'll meet the other interns and learn about what makes JYI such a special organization. Throughout the month, you'll attend masterclasses led by experts in their fields, learn new skills, and get hands-on experience working with our executive team.

At the closing ceremony, you'll reflect on your experience, share what you learned with the other interns, and receive a certificate of completion to add to your resume.
