build4good, an initiative of New America, is a paid mentorship program that matches post-secondary students who are majoring in computer science, integrated digital media, UI/UX design, or other technology-related fields to mission-driven nonprofit organizations with technology-specific project needs. This mostly remote summer internship program aims to inspire a network of future leaders to develop socially minded technology, discover public service-oriented careers, and help nonprofits harness the power of technology for social good. 
Students complete an online application during the Spring semester.
Applications are reviewed with some moving forward to an interview with our team. If your experience and interests are a match for the program, we will schedule a meet and greet with a potential host organization.
If you and a host organization select each other, an offer from the host organization will be extended, and we will begin discussing your project for the summer!
