We are not accepting internship applications at this time.
Overview
The E.WE Foundation Internship Program is an opportunity for us to contribute to the next generation of healthcare advocacy workers in rare disease spaces like health, research, and nonprofit patient organizations. This internship allows us to collaborate with students about healthcare strategy, equitable concepts, and mental health while accelerating awareness and education about Edwards Syndrome or Trisomy 18, and other rare diseases.
Summary
The E.WE Foundation Internship Program is open to full and part-time students, non-degree seeking students, and new graduates in high school and college, undergraduate and graduate studies. Students from racial and ethnic populations and/or underserved communities are strongly encouraged to apply. Students must submit the required application and any supporting or required school documentation. Applicants must participate in an online or in-person interview. Applicants will be notified by email if they are accepted into the program. Once accepted into the program, interns will be matched with a mentor for a period of 12 weeks. Final projects will be presented to the E.WE Foundation’s Executive Leadership team, Board of Directors, and Advisors upon completion of the internship. Student Academic Advisors may also attend final project presentations when applicable. Required meetings and time commitments will be determined by the mentor.
Stipend Availability
The E.WE Foundation recognizes the dedication and effort of our interns. We believe that our internship program will not only contribute to the professional growth of our interns but will also advance the awareness and education surrounding rare diseases, with a particular focus on Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome). While stipends are contingent on the availability of funds, we strive to provide compensation for our interns when possible.
