We are flexible, but need advance notice to be able to accommodate specific requests. Please make sure you bring all the requirements with you at the time of your interview.
Will I get paid?
You’ll earn invaluable experience. ImaginOn internships are unpaid, volunteer positions. However, you will be actively engaged in program development and implementation.
