Interns
TeachUp! Interns are young, tech savvy university and college graduates, aged 21-29, drawn from a wide range of disciplines from liberal arts to computer science and united by a passion for community development through the use of ICTs. Interns provide dedicated, ongoing guidance, encouragement, and skills building to educators as they learn to use technology in their work.
The TeachUp! experience has a profound impact on the personal and professional lives of Interns.
"My whole outlook on the Internship experience was that it was invaluable experience that will help excel my career to the next level. I don't think there would be anything else I could imagine that could replace the training and project management skills that I have acquired from this experience. I have networked with a lot of good people and made a lot of friends along the way that I would have never met elsewhere. I am glad I was chosen as an intern and if I had a chance to do it all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat."

Become an Intern
"Before I applied for this internship, I was at a crossroads in my life. I had already graduated college and did not know if I wanted to go back or try to find a career. This internship has helped me in so many ways. I have discovered that I am a leader and that I can develop and implement projects. I have learned how to manage my time and how to prioritize. The most important thing I have realized is that I want to teach. My experiences at my school have touched the core of who I am and for the first time in a long time, I am confident that I am destined to be an educator."
