What others said about their Your Clear Next Step Internship...

"It was the best internship I've ever had. They listened to me and let me work on creative tasks. They trusted me enough to let me make my own decisions, and if it wasn't the best decision, they walked me through why and how to fix it! I never felt micro-managed, and I could always ask for help if I didn't understand. I loved it so much I stayed! :)"

What we look for in interns...

We look for Interns who are interested in making a difference in individual's lives and their community! 

We look for interns who live out our core values.

You must be intentionally, reliably useful. Genuinely say and demonstrate, "I'm happy to help!" and "How can I help?" 

You must approach problems with creativity and the art of the possible. If you answer avoid "I can't" and instead ask "How can we?" this is you. 

You must be positive people people. You don't have to be an extrovert to work here (trust us, we aren't all extroverts), but you must value the good in others. You must want to help others have an even better workday. 

You must demonstrate humility alongside confidence. Be confident in your skills, but ask questions to clarify or if you don't know, seek and welcome feedback, and elevate others.
