Why consider an internship at the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Mid-South? See what our recent interns had to say about their experience!

“Everything rolled into one, because it showed you how much work is put into a non-profit. Doing things like research and volunteer outreach activities like the I-volunteer fair, really made me realize how important volunteers are to the organization. Working in the office everday, gave me first-hand knowledge about what a non-profit is and how they are so important to every community.”
Intern Katherine - University of Central Arkansas

“Everything was wonderful and the people were great to work wtih. My portfolio is doubled now. . . I feel I am a leg or two up on competition for a job when I graduate.” Intern Matthew - University of Central Arkansas
