There are 3 flavors of interns at Free Geek:
- job experience interns are paid by Free Geek & only work for 6 months
- structured volunteering, such as a build assistant, tech support volunteer, college credit, etc.

Job Experience Interns
These interns are hired through an open hiring process by writing a letter describing why they want to work at Free Geek and how it helps them along their road to a permanent job. Sometimes we hire these interns from within our volunteer pool. Their internship is restricted to 6 months (except in extenuating circumstances whereby they work a few months extra). They receive a review at 3 months. For a more complete explanation of paid internships, see our Paid Internship Policy.
