Internships
At Discover Year, learning is a two-way street. We love seeing our students develop new skills and we benefit from their perspectives on how to communicate our mission to the world. Therefore, we offer the Discover Year Internships program, designed to offer meaningful work opportunities to our own students. Up to five $1,000 internships are available each year. More details will be shared with students at the start of the program.
