About Internships
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in data for the public good. A love and appreciation of data is required. Honestly, if you don’t like spreadsheets, this probably is not the internship for you.
Logistics
This is a 14-week, unpaid volunteer internship.
Estimated time commitment is 5 to 10 hours per week (Total hours = 70 to 140).
Interested interns will have the option to extend the time of their internship at BroadStreet.
How to Join
All skill-levels are welcome to apply. We have 5 cohorts a year that begin immediately after the Orientation Webinar. Please select your preferred track and reserve a spot in the Orientation Webinar during the month when you wish to start. There is a non-refundable application fee which covers: (1) your basic tech fee and (2) a donation to The Community Health Index Fund.
Onboarding
Our application process is unique and surprisingly straightforward. We do not filter out candidates or conduct interviews. The true screening process occurs in the first 10-days of the internship. All volunteers who meet milestones within the first 10 days are invited to join a team and become an official intern at BroadStreet.
The BroadStreet Community Data Internships are a great place to gain experience for future employment. The Internships are run by volunteers for volunteers. Since everyone is a volunteer, this internship should not be considered a path to paid employment at BroadStreet. See FAQs below for additional information for international students and those seeking course credit.
