Volunteering vs. Interning at UNA Boulder‍ ‍

Volunteering is flexible and project-based - a good fit if you want to contribute on your own schedule without an ongoing commitment. Our internship program is more structured, often tied to academic requirements, and involves a deeper ongoing role. Not sure which fits you? Reach out and we'll help you figure it out.‍ ‍
