Internships

Applications for each internship cycle are accepted on a rolling basis, as opportunities become available. The dates below are a general guide only.

• Fall Internships – Applications open in April

• Winter/Spring Internships – Applications open in September

• Summer Internships – Applications open in November

Our formal internship program typically runs for a specified 10-week duration (alternative start and end dates may be accommodated at the discretion of the business unit). Start and end dates for other internship cycles are flexible, based on student availability and school schedule.

Available positions vary according to our needs, but the program typically offers opportunities in almost every Red Cross line of business.

You must be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at the time of internship to be eligible.

The Red Cross offers both paid and unpaid internships.

Paid positions typically require 40 hours per week for the duration of the 10-week summer program (some flexibility may be allowed at the discretion of the business unit, if arranged prior to the start of internship). Hours during the school year are flexible in consideration of classroom commitments.

Housing and relocation are not provided by the Red Cross.

The American Red Cross offers both paid and unpaid internship experiences. You may apply directly on our Careers Site for paid opportunities and on our Volunteer page for unpaid opportunities.

You may apply for as many positions as you wish; however, you must apply for specific positions—we do not accept general applications. Be sure to follow any additional instructions provided in each job posting that interests you.
