The newly reimagined Career Frontiers High School Internship is Valley Volunteer Resources' service-based learning experience. This program serves high school seniors pursuing their “Work-based Learning” internship for career readiness from any high school that supports this program.
Students complete this internship during the school day or outside of school hours and work alongside the mentor/department in which they are assigned. Students are matched with an experience based on interest and availability. The program starts in the Fall and continues throughout the Spring. Click here to apply once you've confirmed with your school that you are eligible for this type of internship.
Students who wish to volunteer will need to complete an electronic application. Please note: While the High School Volunteer Program no longer has deadlines, the application period will temporarily and briefly close throughout the year. During these times, the application will be unavailable. We appreciate your patience during these periods.
