Internship Program Overview

KIPP Philadelphia Schools Internship Program is committed to offering internships to college students in and around Philadelphia.  Depending on the student's interests, they have the opportunity to experience working in a variety of fields - teaching, business operations, office management, non-profit development, talent, and beyond!  Through their work with KPS, interns will also gain a great deal of knowledge about the public education system in Philadelphia, the challenges it faces, and how KIPP Philadelphia has addressed the needs of students in North and West Philadelphia.  Learn more about KIPP Philadelphia Schools here. 

Students working in our Intership Program will gain experience working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial non-profit environment that is leading the country in large-scale education reform.  As KIPP operates 109 schools in 20 states and DC, interns have exposure to a national network with the potential for future job opportunities.
