The Plus Wonder Internship Program is a unique opportunity for highly motivated students to gain valuable experience in research and communications, supporting Plus Wonder’s mission to help people forge the Deep Connections that make great things happen.

We offer two distinct internships running concurrently: Research and Social Media. Internships are unpaid and last for one semester, from either September to December or January to May. They are open to anyone eligible to work in the United States.

These remote, part time internships will be tailored to the availability of the recipient in order to accommodate employment or education limitations.

Plus Wonder is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates.

Internship Program Structure & Benefits

pexels-thirdman-5052659

The Plus Wonder Internship Program takes a project-based and collaborative approach to learning real-life job skills and concludes with a public-facing virtual presentation of work open to our team, board members, and stakeholders.

The two internships work both independently and collaboratively to tackle their internship responsibilities as well as discover the possibilities of their collective efforts within the timeframe of the internship.

Upon successful completion of the internship, the interns will have produced a set number of deliverables and received adequate training and feedback to complete them to a high standard, which can be used in their portfolios and presentation.

Exit interviews will be conducted, and verification of employment will be provided. Upon request, interns can receive a constructive job performance conversation, rooted in a guided self-assessment, and a posted LinkedIn recommendation.

Receipt of this internship requires acknowledgement that no job is guaranteed upon completion of the internship.

Other Benefits:

  • Gain valuable real-world experience developing relevant job skills through deep work and collaboration.
  • Work alongside experienced professionals and learn from industry leaders.
  • Develop essential skills for future careers in research and communications.
  • Network with industry professionals and build your resume.
