About
The WONDER Track is a BroadStreet Community Data Internship. This hands on internship has a mix of asynchronous/synchronous work. We welcome all skill levels but please know that this track is fast-paced with deadlines and lots of communication each week between team members and leads. The internship last 14-weeks with an estimated 5 - 10 hours each week. During the 14 weeks, interns will complete 3 months of sprints that build upon one another. At the end, you will be tasked with creating a presentation for a specific audience (i.e. stakeholder) in the state/county you have been working. This presentation will utilize both (a) the data that you have collected during your tenure on the track and (b) external research. You will then present these projects to your fellow team members and Broadstreet colleagues. Please join us if you are able to devote the time (5-10 hours each week) for 14 weeks. There are 3 internship cohorts each year that start of the first Monday of the month: February, June, October.
