Two Ways to Build Your Team

SUMMER INTERNSHIPS

Hire driven, full-time interns for 10–12 weeks starting in June. Script candidates arrive prepared—mock interviews, professional development, and a peer network already behind them. You provide the structure and mentorship. They bring everything else. All majors and industries welcome.

What you provide:

  • 30–40 hours per week for 10–12 weeks

  • $18/hour minimum wage

  • Transportation reimbursement or remote work support

  • Regular one-on-one mentor sessions with a designated employee

2026 Timeline:

January 16 — Sign-up deadline for companies
February 17 — Position profile submission deadline
Feb 18 – March 31 — Candidate matching
April 1 – May 1 — Interviews and offers
June — Kickoff event in Portland

ASSOCIATE POSITIONS (FREE TO POST)

Recruit early-career candidates for full-time roles year-round. Script associates are recent college graduates from underrepresented backgrounds—pre-qualified, pre-vetted, and ready to make an impact. Post positions at no cost and let our matching process do the work.

The Script Speaks For Itself

  • “I am connected to a great number of opportunities that I would not have known about without this internship. The program opens up a huge network for students of color, especially for first-generation graduates. I got to work closely with another intern and it was an even better experience because we were learning alongside each other.”

    Former Intern

  • “I think seeing how real work gets done,  being a part of that process, and meeting people from different disciplines was the most valuable part of this internship. This experience has given me that first taste of working in an agency, so I know what to expect a lot more than before this summer.”

    Former Intern

  • “While hosting our intern required capacity, it also HELPED our capacity a lot! She has been a huge help.  We’ve extended her internship.”
