About our Internships
Nashville Paw interns work between 10-25 hours per week, in a combination of on-site and off-site work. For example, an intern may come to our office for six hours, and complete another 6 hours of project off-site and/or at home. While some administrative tasks and projects may be involved, most of the work will be directly related to the student’s area of concentration. We offer internships for every semester.
While our internship positions are unpaid, we are happy to work each student to ensure that you receive course credit, and every intern leaves with a portfolio of work they can be proud of. You'll also gain a great deal of creative, real-world experience to boot!
All interns will have the opportunity to work on projects for our print publication as well as our online presence and community events in order to apply their skills to a variety of platforms.
