KIPP SoCal Public Schools Intern

Who We Are

KIPP SoCal Public Schools is a nonprofit organization that operates 20 tuition-free, open-enrollment charter public schools, within 17 Local Education Agencies (LEA), educating more than 10,000 students and supporting 8,300 alumni to and through college and beyond. Our award winning schools are part of the national KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) network, dedicated to meeting the needs of all learners and providing the social, emotional and academic support for success in high school, college, and life.

Mission

Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose—college, career and beyond—so they can lead fulfilling lives and create a more just world.

What We Do

At KIPP SoCal we build trusting relationships that are strengthened by high expectations and collaboration alongside laughter and joy. We set ambitious goals and hold each other accountable for students achieving their greatest potential. We work together with each other and in partnership with families and communities in the active pursuit of a more equitable world. We do the right thing, even when it's not always comfortable standing up and speaking out against anti-blackness, racism, oppression, and injustice. We persevere through obstacles and treat failure as an opportunity to learn and grow.

Internship Overview

The KIPP SoCal Public Schools Intern will work within a department on the School Success Team (SST), which is the group of team members who support all functions that make our schools great! Interns will support a variety of project-based initiatives to ensure our students have wonderful experiences in our schools.

Each internship is designed to provide meaningful professional experience, hands-on skill development, and exposure to the daily functions of our organization. The Intern will be supervised by a designated supervisor within their assigned SST department and will receive regular check-ins, feedback, and opportunities for mentorship and skill development.
