Thank you for your interest in the Summer Intern Program at LifeMoves!

The dates of the program are June 6th - August 12th, 2022. Interns will be working at various locations across the Silicon Valley Bay Area, California. The bulk of internships will be in-person, socially distanced. We may have a few remote/hybrid options. We plan on implementing all necessary safety precautions including social distancing, mask wearing, and temperature screening. The vast majority of our staffers are vaccinated.
