The Internship
Program of Broadway House for Continuing Care provides an invaluable
opportunity for students to get a unique and candid look at the
world of non-profits by being on the inside of one of the most unique
organizations in New Jersey. The qualified and committed students
will gain valuable hands-on experience in their discipline of study,
including the opportunity to participate as an active member in
the Broadway House Network. For us, internships provide the capacity
to support current program initiatives as well as develop new programs.
We require a one semester time commitment and where possible, a
two-semester commitment is ideal. For graduate school and summer
interns, hours vary considerably. Most Internships are unpaid. A
few are available with a stipend.
