- To provide interns with access to valuable future employer contacts and assistance in determining personal career goals; and
- To provide the Foundation, an internationally recognized 501(c)3 educational nonprofit organization, with talented, ambitious and knowledgeable individuals to assist in the implementation of our advocacy, communications, development, education and grant programs;
Where You Will Work: Interns work in East Meadow, N.Y., located 45 minutes from New York City.

Additionally, interns are involved with Foundation events (Salute to Women in Sports Dinner, NGWSD, Basketball Classic) to both raise funds and educate donors of our work.
