We welcome your application, and ask that you please contact us only if you are able to make a commitment of several months, in order to provide the best service for San Franciscans in need of conflict resolution.
Community Boards internships provide valuable, real-life, hands-on experience. Interns interview prospective mediation clients, develop cases, outreach to the community, and handle other tasks related to managing a grassroots community service.
We welcome local and international students, as well as non-student individuals looking to expand their skill sets in the field. Diversity is something we value at Community Boards - we welcome interns of all backgrounds and ages.
We are particularly looking for interns who are fluent in Spanish, Mandarin or Cantonese.
