VISIONARY INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Our Visionary Internship Program offers students an opportunity to gain experience in impact media, learn from leading experts, connect with a community of creative activists and explore the ways that storytelling, media and art can drive positive change. One of our signature offerings, this program attracts extraordinary young people who go on to develop careers in the arts, media, film, marketing, communications, social justice, human rights, philanthropy, nonprofit management and more.
Our young Visionaries range from high school seniors preparing for college to recent university graduates. We customize their learning experience to align with their academic focus and coursework, as well as their personal passions and interests. University and college students can earn academic credit and high school students can use the internship to meet community engagement or volunteer requirements.

NOTES FROM FORMER VISIONARIES
"Every person in the office was able to show me what passion and hard work can create and I will forever try to take that with me."
Monique Go
Events & Programming Intern
"The Visionary Program threw me in and allowed me to learn so much in a summer. With past internships, I didn't feel like I was really contributing. Here, I was immediately asked for my input and opinion and given real responsibility! It was a truly rewarding opportunity – leading me to a full time position with Creative Visions!
Ella Charon
Graphic Design Intern
"I have learned more about creative activism, work ethic, collaboration, and communication than I could have ever imagined. I have come away from these six weeks with a more expanded worldview, a renowned determination to make a difference, and a larger network of like-minded creatives than before."
Sophie Penn
Media Production Intern
"Each time I leave this space, I am refilled and reignited with passion, inspiration, and an urge to go into the world and do something impactful."
