NEW Communications, Marketing & Outreach
Internship

Each year, NEW Counseling accepts bachelor’s and master’s level mass communication, marketing and technology focused interns to participate in our internship program that is a fluid mix of challenge, growth and reward.

NEW tries to create an internship experience that is reciprocal and one in which interns are able to focus on activities and tasks that are meaningful to them, while also filling a need within the practice.

The internship is tailored to each intern and has a strong focus on identifying their specific talents, gifts and style and preparing them to bring their whole self to their current and future work and life experiences.
