Internship Opportunities & Pathway Programs

Internships, including summer internships, practicums, and volunteer positions, are typically posted on the official websites and social media pages of specific Harvard schools or departments. Interested candidates are encouraged to explore these resources and network directly with the departments offering these opportunities.

Harvard also offers several dedicated pathway programs designed to support specific communities and foster skill and professional development. These include:
