We are building a cohesive, strong team of teens from all over the country to help get the word out about Hideouts.

Administrative interns work closely with the teen co-founders on non-technical, clerical tasks. They may also be asked to help with recruitment, various paperwork, and general coordination of company personnel. Administrative interns will be assigned various tasks, such as applying for grants or handling email correspondence with our partners, or they will assist our co-founders with the aforementioned tasks. Working as an administrative intern is an amazing way to see first-hand what it takes to run an early-stage startup, and exceptional interns may be offered leadership roles within the company.

Interns are responsible for procuring their own devices needed to work. This internship term is for the summer only, from June 8th-August 28th, 2021.
