Sometimes the most lasting lessons are learned outside the classroom.
Our summer internship program gives Rainier Scholars students in high school and college a chance to do paid, full-time work in interesting professional settings under the guidance of a committed mentor. We're always looking for businesses and nonprofit organizations who might be a good fit for our students.
