Intern at ACC
The African Community Center is always on the lookout for new energy and support for our work and community. Interns play a key role in helping us further our mission to help refugees rebuild safe, sustainable lives in Denver through supportive networks of people, services, and community activities. Each intern brings a unique perspective and new ideas to our community, contributing their past experience, ambition and passion.
During an intern’s time with us, they will:
Grow as individuals, personally and professionally
Become stronger advocates for the community we are a part of and the individuals with whom we work
Build greater connections and exchanges between individuals
Gain new perspectives and skills through their time spent in a diverse community setting
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide compensation for interns due to funding restrictions. All internships with ACC are unpaid at this time.
