How often are new jobs added?

New internships are added continuously throughout the day. We monitor company career pages and hiring tools in real time, so most roles appear on InternshipsHQ shortly after they’re posted.

Why can I only view a limited number per day on the free plan?

The free plan is designed to let you explore the platform and see how fresh the listings are. Limits help us prioritize serious applicants and keep the signal high. Pro removes these limits and gives you full access.

What sources do you pull internships from?

We source internships directly from company career pages, startup hiring platforms, and applicant tracking systems like Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, and others. This helps us surface roles earlier and avoid repost-heavy job boards.

Are these internships legitimate?

Yes. We actively filter out expired, duplicate, misleading, and low-quality listings. Each role is checked for legitimacy and posting freshness so you’re not wasting time on dead or fake opportunities.

Can I filter by location, experience level, remote, or salary?

Yes. You can filter internships by role, location, experience level, remote or hybrid status, and pay when available. Pro users get access to more advanced and saved filters.

Why are early alerts so important?

For internships, timing matters more than volume. Most callbacks happen when roles are still new and applicant pools are small. Early alerts help you apply before listings get flooded.

Do you show salary or pay information?

When companies include pay information, we display it clearly. Not all internships list salary upfront, but we prioritize transparency whenever the data is available.

Is InternshipsHQ suitable for senior or experienced roles?

InternshipsHQ is primarily built for internships, entry-level, and early-career roles. If you’re looking for senior or leadership positions, you may find limited results here.

About The Company

We envision a society that respects the dignity of every single person. And we're working to realize it. We work with others who share our vision to tackle the most pressing injustices of our day - from the causes and consequences of mass incarceration, racial disparities, and the loss of public trust in law enforcement, to the unmet needs of the vulnerable, the marginalized, and those harmed by crime and violence.

About the Role

<h3>About the team:</h3> Restoring Promise is an initiative of the Vera Institute of Justice that seeks to transform prison cultures, climates, and spaces by partnering with correctional leaders to reimagine housing units for young adults and realign corrections policies and practices with a commitment to human dignity.    As Restoring Promise prepares for the next phase of our strategic plan, we are partnering with new and existing partner states to open young adult housing units and work on culture change inside women’s correctional facilities. Restoring Promise seeks to make our approach more gender-responsive and inclusive. Up until now, Restoring Promise has partnered with Connecticut Department of Corrections on the WORTH (Women Overcoming Recidivism Through Hard Work) unit at the York Correctional  Institution in Niantic, CT, which opened in June, 2018. WORTH is currently our only unit in a women’s prison and has been a leader within Restoring Promise, often inspiring other young adult housing units with their innovative programming, mentorship models, and accountability process. Restoring Promise seeks to expand our work in women’s prisons, meet the needs of people living in women’s prisons, and build evidence for Restoring Promise’s effectiveness in women’s prisons.     The internship is designed as an opportunity for someone to assist in the design and implementation of new Restoring Promise housing units in women’s prisons with new and existing partnership states beyond Connecticut. The Restoring Promise intern will bring their experience (if relevant) to new states building women’s units within our Department of Corrections partnership states. The intern will serve as a connector between members of the WORTH unit and the new partnership states. The intern will support Restoring Promise’s technical assistance, support the development of our implementation plans, training plans and research plans for the new women’s units to help make our approach more gender responsive and inclusive.    The intern will learn:  <ul> <li>The process of programmatic technical assistance </li> <li>How to develop implementation, training, and research plans </li> <li>Facilitation, note-taking and presentation skills </li> </ul> <h3>About the role:</h3> 1.
