Zwas Community Impact Interns

About the Zwas Community Impact Interns

Zwas Community Impact Interns pursue internships at community-focused nonprofit organizations in Morningside Heights — with secondary consideration for internships hosted by organizations based in Harlem (and New York City more broadly). Eligible internships can be undertaken at any type of community-focused nonprofit organization. Applicants may design their own internship or apply to an existing internship program. A confirmed internship is not necessary prior to submission of an application.

Currently enrolled first-years, sophomores, and juniors are eligible for summer internships. All currently enrolled students are eligible for internships that take place during the academic year.
