Interns Gain Valuable, Real-World Work Experience

California’s critical housing shortage has focused attention on the need for more affordable housing. As the largest nonprofit affordable housing developer in California, Jamboree provides a variety of internship opportunities across a spectrum of career paths. Interns provide valuable services that help fill the gap for a nonprofit, gaining hands-on experience in a real-world work environment while exploring potential career options.

Jamboree offers internship opportunities in Community Impact, Resident Services, Senior Services, and Supportive Services. If you’re interested in an internship with Jamboree, please contact Tamara Tellez, our Human Resources Supervisor.
