Internships
Internships are a great way to explore and network within the nonprofit sector while gaining relevant experience in a professional environment. If you are a college student or someone looking to gain new skills, we encourage you to apply here at CMAA!
As an intern, you will be working with a group of passionate people committed to improving the lives of low-income immigrants and refugees as a fellow member of the CMAA family. There will be no buying coffee or making photocopies - instead, you will be engaged in meaningful, substantive work, like counseling real clients on how to find employment. We guarantee that you will leave the internship with stronger professional skills and a deeper understanding of the field.
*Most of CMAA’s internships are unpaid but can be used for school credit.
