Internship Opportunities

QYD Bits™ Teen Internship

 

The QYD Bits internship program allows high schoolers throughout Vermont to learn about their communities by asking them to identify the local resources available to youth. These resources are contributed to TeenLine, an information and referral services line for youth. The interns then promote TeenLine within their community to fulfill QYD Benchmark #7: Youth access to social services and resources outside of a school setting.
