Past
Projects
Note from our team:
Student Bono’s end goal is not solely to gain recognition for students or even simply assist them in building their career experience. We believe that a student’s voice has value and quality, and we aim to inspire our interns to pursue global change while developing skills of interest to them – building the world and learning more about themselves in the meantime. We specifically connect our student interns with nonprofits that strive to create true social impact. We recognize that our interns are all gifted with a variety of skills, and through our internships, we have provided students with incredible diversity, allowing them to shine in their interests. Our past internships have covered tutoring, fundraising, graphic design, content writing, social media marketing strategy, cold calling, cold emailing, ambassador networks, web development, writing software, conducting scientific research, and so much more. In the future, we aim to expand our network and continue to connect our high school interns with groundbreaking nonprofits.
