Now hiring the best interns on earth

In the outreach world of Huntsman Cancer Foundation, we come from a long history of love-fest internship experiences that really informed our career choices. For Lori, it was a mentor at the U.S. Olympic Committee who shaped her love of sport as a catalyst for peace and change (and a flair for the dramatic), for Jen, it was curating quality events with the Utah Arts Festival, and for Brooke (our team member who is now relocating to Portland) it was honing skills of editing and organization at a local TV station's daily program that led her to contributing at HCF as a media master.

So, it isn't a surprise that our interns are dear to our hearts and that we want to offer them a meaningful experience that will go well past "busy work."

So, if you are a college senior in outdoor rec, events, marketing, advertising, non-profit, journalism, or business and have the skills outlined below, e-mail us to come along for the ride this spring.  We'd like to place four interns by January 25th and they would work on Huntsman Hometown Heroes events and fundraising initiatives through the end of the semester.

E-mail events@huntsmancancerfoundation.org for more information and go hug your mentor today.
