Student Internships
We offer hands-on internship opportunities for students and emerging professionals who want real experience in community-based work. Interns are part of the day-to-day operations, supporting distributions, working alongside volunteers, and helping connect people with resources.
Our current internship openings are listed below, and we accept applications on a rolling basis. Because we host a limited number of interns at a time, we’re able to focus on a more hands-on, meaningful experience. Internships typically range from 10–20 hours per week and can vary based on your interests and area of focus.
If you don’t see an opportunity that fits but have an idea or specific interest, we encourage you to reach out - we’re always open to starting a conversation!
Please note that all internships at the South Portland Food Cupboard are unpaid at this time.
