Bridge Global Strategies selects one intern each for the fall semester (early September to December), for the spring semester (January to May) and for the summer (10 weeks, May to August). Internships are not paid, but transportation expenses will be reimbursed.

- Media monitoring, analysis and preparation of client reports
- Varied writing
- Media relations (media list building, media calling)
- Events coordination (coordinating meeting logistics)
- Research
- Although there will be some administrative work, it will not be a big part of the internship

- Must be able to work a minimum of 10 hours/week for spring and fall internships
- Must be able to work at least 3 full days/week for summer internships, but five days/week preferred
