Host an Intern

Join a network of forward-thinking companies committed to shaping tomorrow’s leaders. Partnership for the Future (PFF) connects high-achieving, college-bound high school students with meaningful, paid internship opportunities through our dynamic seven-week summer program.

Interns work Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, gaining hands-on experience that aligns with your organization’s needs. On Fridays, students engage in enrichment programming focused on college readiness, financial literacy, and personal and professional development.

Our interns remain with the same company for up to three consecutive summers, receive year-round training on hard and soft skills, and have the dedicated support of one of our coaches to ensure their success. By hosting a PFF intern, you are not just offering a summer job; you’re making a long-term investment in your workforce, your community, and the future.
