Investing in Youth, Community, and the Future.

TIPS internships make a difference. Every dollar spent on a Teens In Public Service internship has a 3x impact: on the intern, the nonprofit, and the community at large! 

TIPS operates as a connective service for high school students to find meaningful summer work at nonprofit organizations. These organizations need additional help to achieve their goals. Interns and nonprofits benefit when teens are given the opportunity to direct their energy, compassion, and dedication to supporting community-based causes.

When you give to TIPS, you are supporting job creation, career success, nonprofit services, community health, leadership development, and service advocacy.

It is our hope that each TIPS Intern will go on to serve their community as an ethical community leader and advocate for nonprofit causes.
