Internships

A Wider Circle accepts interns from a wide variety of fields including social sciences, health, communications, and business. Throughout the year, we train and provide ongoing support to you as you work in your particular area, which is chosen according to your specific interests and talents. Whether you are helping local families pick out beds and dressers in our storage facility, providing managerial support, or creating a flyer for a fundraiser, interns are crucial to the work of A Wider Circle.
