The intern decides the number of hours per week that fits the intern’s schedule, typically 10, or up to 20 hours per week; as well as the length of the internship experience, typically 1-12 months based on intern availability and goals. Interns may not exceed 20 hours per week, to facilitate equitable, flexible, and sustainable engagement. We also provide documents to help you facilitate obtaining academic credit at your institution, associated with the internship, if desired. [Note: We entered a year for the length/timeframe of the temporary internship, to give you maximum flexibility; the actual temporary dates and timeframe are up to you — you will determine how long you will spend with us; such as a portion of a summer or semester, or an entire year.]
 

Weekly check-in with the Supervisor occurs asynchronously.

Note on Our Peer-Supported Application Process

As part of our leadership development model, applications to the Heart Spark Internship Program may be supported and reviewed by members of our current intern team. These include our Operations Intern, Peer Applicant Liaison Interns, and Cohort Reviewer Interns.

These interns are gaining structured experience in program operations, leadership, and peer mentorship. They may reach out to applicants with questions, clarifications, or updates, and may review submitted materials as part of their supervised training. All peer reviewers participate under the guidance of program leadership and have committed to strict privacy and professionalism.

While our program leadership also reviews applications, their review may take longer due to the individualized nature of our process. We appreciate your patience and your trust in the supervised and mentored peer review component of our model. If you have questions or wish to communicate directly with our program leadership at any time, you may do so using the contact information provided in the application materials.

By choosing to apply through Handshake (or on our website directly) for this intern role, you acknowledge that your submission will enter a structured and supervised peer review process. A current Peer Reviewer Intern may reach out to assist you in connecting with the application process on our website. If you choose to apply on Handshake for this intern role, you imply that you consent to this process and agree to have your materials reviewed by trained interns as part of our supervised, educational review system. If you do not wish to proceed in this way, you may decline to apply through Handshake (or on our website directly) for this intern role. 

Thank you for considering this opportunity. We are honored by your interest and look forward to learning more about you.
