About

For more than 25 years, TIPS has provided over 1,200 student leaders with paid summer internships at more than 230 nonprofits in the Greater Puget Sound Region, collectively putting in over 230,000 hours of public service. These internships offer teens practical work experience, an understanding of ethical leadership, and a venue to put their values into action. For many of our interns, this is their first professional experience. Our internship program is designed to provide them the tools to take initiative and serve our community. In addition, our nonprofit partners gain additional staff during the summer at no cost to their organizations, along with the youth voice and perspective our interns bring.

TIPS continues to create internships that range in service area and focus - whether you’re a volunteer coordinator at an environmental education camp or a social media manager at an arts & culture program, there’s bound to be something that fits your interests and skills
