Where to find intern jobs for high school students?

I'm really eager to gain some work experience through an internship while I'm in high school. Where should I start looking for internship opportunities that accept junior students?

One way to find internships as a high school student is through job boards designed specifically for students, such as Chegg Internships or Internship.com. These platforms often have filters that allow you to sort by industries of interest, your year in school, and various other factors.

You can also research companies or organizations that you're interested in, and see if they offer any internship programs for high school students. Most companies will have a "Careers" or "Internships" on their website where they list available positions. You can look for an option to apply or express interest there.

Another option could be leveraging your school's resources. Check with your school's guidance counselor or career center to see if they have any connections or know of any internships for high school students. Schools often partner with local businesses or organizations and might be able to help you find something.

Lastly, reach out to your personal network. Often times, family members, friends, or people they know may be aware of potential internship opportunities. An example could be a family friend who works at a local business and might be able to arrange a shadow or internship opportunity.

Remember, when applying, it's crucial to present yourself as a professional, even though you're still in high school. This includes everything from how you speak and interact, to your resume and cover letter.
