The Internship Program at 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 inside 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.
For graduate school and summer interns, hours vary considerably. Most
internships are unpaid. A few may qualify for a travel stipend.
