Internships
Interns for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Orange County and the Inland Empire give of their time and talents to help bring hope, strength, and joy to children who are battling life-threatening medical conditions. All of our internships are unpaid; however, in return for their hard work and dedication, our interns receive valuable training, knowledge, hands-on non-profit work experience, a chance to meet others, and the gratification of making a difference in the life of a child. Academic credit can also be provided for students (specific criteria/requirements of the student's educational institution apply).

Our interns assist in various areas of the Foundation alongside staff and other volunteers. Successful candidates are typically students or recent graduates (over the age of 18) with excellent written and oral communication skills, good organizational skills, the ability to multi-task, computer proficiency, and internet research ability.
