About our Education Programs Internship

826 Valencia’s Education Programs Internship is an opportunity to learn about the field of education in a nonprofit environment! In the education programs track, you will grow your youth development skills and provide consistent, culturally responsive support to youth from under-resourced communities. 

To support hands-on learning, Education Programs Interns receive direct coaching, dedicated training, and professional development. Day to day, interns learn about effective writing instruction by tutoring students in grades 2 through 12 in small groups, assisting our staff with summer writing camps, and creating a welcoming, fun, and inclusive atmosphere for student learning. 

We are committed to fostering an environment of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we encourage all to apply.
