Build events and projects
Interns support the details that make clinics, community days, and youth activities feel organized and welcoming.
Career exploration
We Turn Ship
A year-round internship where high school and college students learn how nonprofit work happens by planning events, leading civic projects, and supporting WELO from the inside.
How it works
Interns get real responsibility with real community impact.
We Turn Ship gives students firsthand exposure to the inner workings of a nonprofit organization. Interns help plan events, support special projects, take part in civic engagement activities, and learn how community programs move from idea to execution.
The goal is not busywork. The goal is to help young people practice teamwork, communication, accountability, and leadership while giving back to their own communities.
