There are 3 flavors of interns at Free Geek:
- Paid interns are paid by Free Geek. They serve a 6-month term as paid interns
- Structured volunteering, such as a build assistant, tech support volunteer, college credit, etc.
- People who are paid by an outside agency such as SMS
Paid 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, check out the Paid Interns page.
Here's some links to pages on this subject:
Volunteer Interns
These interns tend to apply through our internships webpage. Descriptions of available internships are linked to that page. These interns are volunteers here on a set schedule. Often they're getting school credit for volunteering here.
Some links on this type of intern:

- Volunteer Intern Supervisors

Outside Interns
These are generally folks who are sent here by SMS. They're paid by the outside agency and are "supervised" by someone on staff. They have a set schedule and are generally around for a significant chunk of time.
