Make a Difference With Data, And Build Your Future

You want to make a difference, but the career path feels unclear.
You’ve taken classes, yet you don’t feel job-ready.

We guide you step by step to turn what you’ve learned into real-world experience. You’ll work with real data, gain confidence, and start building a portfolio that shows what you can do.

If you like data, you’re in the right place. Let’s get you there.

​

Who This Internship Is For

You’re curious about using data for the public good.
You want hands-on learning.

We support you as you bridge the gap between school and career. This program is built to help you learn, practice, and grow — even if you’re just getting started.

All skill levels are welcome.

​

How the Program Works

You’re joining a volunteer-powered program led by people who care deeply about impact.
We guide you through structured training while you contribute meaningful work.

There’s a $130 application fee, which covers program costs and keeps the training self-sustaining. The program may be eligible for academic credit, depending on your school.

​

Time, Location, and Cohorts

You work 100% remotely, from anywhere.
You’ll spend about 5–10 hours per week, with flexibility built in.

• 3 cohorts a year 

  • Spring: Feb 2 – May 15 (75–150 hours)

  • Summer: June 1 – Aug 14 (50–100 hours)

  • Fall: Sept 14 – Dec 11 (60–120 hours)

Finish strong and want to stay longer? We’ll help you explore next steps.

​

What You’ll Learn

We guide you to career-critical, job-ready skills by solving real problems.

By the end, you’ll know how to:

• Explore and understand public health data

• Create data visualizations you can add to your portfolio

• Work confidently in a remote, professional setting

• Collaborate with teammates and grow your network

• Troubleshoot challenges and follow projects through

This is real-world experience, not theory alone.

​

Tools You’ll Use

We start with the tools employers actually use.
Spreadsheets like Excel/Google sheets are the foundation. Then we build from there.

You can also choose optional add-ons to match your goals, including data visualization, analytics, mapping, data storytelling, and social media tools. You shape your path.

​

Academic Credit & Practicum Hours

Yes, you can earn course credit.
Over 500 volunteers have done this since 2020.

We guide you through the process after a 10-day orientation. You’ll meet early milestones first, then we help with paperwork and school coordination.

​

How to Join

We make it simple and welcoming.
No applications. No interviews.

You start with a 10-day orientation. If you meet the milestones, you’re invited to join the team. Most people do — the biggest challenge is time commitment. We want to be upfront about that.

​​

Certificates, References, and Hiring

You can earn certificates by completing the program and additional learning modules.
You can request a letter of recommendation after successful completion. The strongest letters are for those who become volunteer leaders while at BroadStreet.

While this is not a path to paid employment, it’s a strong way to gain hands-on experience that supports your next career move.
