All intern contributions are supplemental to the work of Kidsave staff and are intended to enhance the intern’s learning experience. Intern tasks are structured to provide exposure to nonprofit program operations, outreach, and advocacy. While interns may assist with administrative and programmatic activities, all work is performed under supervision and as part of a guided learning experience.
