Internships: Week of 4/3
Check out this week's 34 new DC-based/remote paid internships!
Howdy! Trying out a fun little evening bulletin to see what happens with the analytics. Happy April and for those of y’all in DC, hope you’ve been enjoyin the cherry blossoms. As mentioned last week, I have now added a fall internship section, and decided to combine the spring + summer positions (since spring positions are pretty much in their last month anyway).
This week’s bulletin features 34 new internship positions — including some with deadlines coming up in the next few days & also some fall roles. Another quick side note, for next week, I’ll be creating Brandon’s DC Internship Housing Guide (name still being workshopped), since y’all should not be paying the crazy university housing rates if you can avoid it 🙏
Quick plug: I created a Buy Me a Coffee account if you want to support my work by chipping in $3 for a yummy bev (probably an iced coffee or boba while I’m abroad <3). I make the Bulletin + Hillternship Hub in my spare time as a grad student, so any support would be very kind!
It’s going to take all of us to help democratize the progressive internship space, so please share this Bulletin and the Hillternship Hub with 3 friends who are also on the internship grind right now. Additionally, feel free to leave (anonymous) feedback on the Bulletin or the Hillternship Hub in the feedback form below!
And if this is your first time reading this Bulletin, subscribing means you’ll get this bulletin to your inbox automatically every week.
Let’s dive into this week’s *34* new internships ⬇️

That’s it for this week’s internship bulletin. This week’s self-care tip is to visit a thrift store in your area and check out some cool second-hand stuff! Even if you don’t end up buying anything, it can def be an interesting time. For those of y’all in the DMV area already, Unique, Value Village, Second Avenue Thrift and Prime Thrift are great for clothes (they’re mostly in MD/VA, though Georgia Ave Thrift and Rosario’s in Columbia Heights are in DC!) and I’m a big fan of the Look Again Resale Shop which has proceeds supporting the Prevention of Blindness Society!
