At Swell Collective, we are committed to practicing the principles of collaborative leadership in all aspects of our organization. What that means, is that our interns and apprentices become immediately empowered within the organization to tell us what they need. After submitting an application, if you are a fit for our mission, we will schedule a conversation to find out more about what you want to learn and where you want to grow. We will take you behind the scenes into the operations of TSC and then we will figure out together where your skills and interests intersect with our vision, mission, and programs. We will build a customized internship together to meet your needs and ours. Generally, all crew at TSC begin as interns or apprentices. Our internships are available to high school students and undergrads and are unpaid. Our apprenticeship program is for graduate students and professionals and is stipended as our funding allows.

What the community says

I felt the community at Swell was very understanding and inclusive. The support given at times almost felt underserved because of how available it was and I very much appreciate the honesty that every individual expressed. I felt like it was a community where everyone looks out for everyone and is not shy to lend a helping hand when needed.

Ask as many questions you have to understand the organization and its future goals more.

I'd tell them not to worry about anything, and that your bosses will always be there if you have any questions and are incredibly understanding!

The weekly meetings and slack helped me stay up to date with other members of the organization. Additionally, I appreciate how we did wellness check-ins and talked about our weekend rather than only discuss projects and tasks for that week.

We received regular updates on what Swell was collaborating on in any given moment, and we were always given the opportunity to join in on the action. Also, having a general slack channel made me feel like I was part of the team.
