Summer Internship Program

Seatuck is proud to offer a variety of summer internship opportunities for college students. These internships, which focus on different aspects of the organization’s work, are intended to last for 8 to 12 weeks, with interns working a weekly schedule that can vary depending on availability. Seatuck interns are tasked with substantive projects within their area of interest, but are also expected to wear multiple hats in contributing to the various work of the organization throughout the summer. All positions are unpaid, with the exception of the Laskowski Fellowship, which includes a small stipend.
