Every semester, Family Futures provides a wide range of internship opportunities for students and recent graduates from all majors. It’s a great way to gain real-world experience in the nonprofit sector.
Get prepared for your future career
Earn college credits, gain marketable experience, increase your social network, and work with a diverse and fun staff. We will spend time on your professional development so you can feel confident in your job search.
In 2023, our interns served 3600 hours—which translates to $106,480 in staff salary savings that could be applied directly to our family services instead.
If you share our passion for helping all West Michigan children and families thrive, please reach out and we’d love to find a place for you on our team.
