The Returnship

While our internship program is typically open to tenants of all ages, our Returnships are exclusively open to adults ages 35 and up. This program provides opportunities to tenants looking to return to the workforce or start a new career. The Returnship is not a different program. It is structured the same as our internships, but the only change is the age requirement for applicants.
