Hi all! I'm currently a junior and I'm looking for a paid internship this summer. Are there any good websites or resources to find paid internships specifically for high school students? Can anyone share their experience in finding one? Much appreciated!
Hi! It's awesome that you're looking for a paid internship as a high school student. There are several platforms that can help you find one that suits your interests. Websites like LinkedIn, Indeed, or Glassdoor can be useful for finding internships, just make sure to filter by entry level or internships to find those more suitable for high school students.
Another great resource is CollegeVine, which offers a lot of helpful articles and tips for high school students on their college journey, including articles about internships and extracurricular activities. Keep in mind that networking can be highly beneficial as well. Reach out to your connections, teachers, and friends' parents to inquire if they know of any opportunities.
In my experience, many internships for high school students tend to be unpaid or offer a stipend instead of a regular salary. However, don't let that discourage you—the experience and skills you'll gain will be valuable for your future endeavors. Good luck with your search!
