Paid Internship Opportunities

Fresno Building Healthy Communities offers paid internship opportunities to high school youth in their Sophomore or Junior years who reside in Fresno County to provide them with short-term, practical experience and empower them to become change agents within their schools and neighborhoods.

Empowering The Youth

Young people will engage in meaningful community-oriented work and explore career tracks that provide a path to economic opportunity and empower them to live up to their responsibilities, follow their dreams, and give back to their communities.

Student interns select one of two tracks to focus on during their internship period:
