Immersive Internship Experience
Our internships offer a valuable opportunity for young people to immerse themselves in the organization’s structure and daily operations. Interns interact with top leaders, tackle complex challenges, and build professional relationships locally and internationally.
Hands-On Learning and Leadership Development
Interns gain hands-on experience in various aspects of organizational operations and leadership. They are involved in meaningful projects that contribute to advancing girls in leadership roles, preparing them for future careers.
Opportunities in Maryland, Sierra Leone, Zambia, and Virtually
We offer internship opportunities both in-person and virtually. This flexibility allows interns to gain experience and contribute to our mission regardless of their location.
I remember being part of a program Stella's Girls ran during COVID-19 and loving the experience. I wanted to return to the organization that helped me develop a love of reading and supported me throughout this process.
