GrubStreet is currently hiring a Programs Intern (July-December 2023)! View details and submit your application here.

Internship Overview

Like a Renaissance man (or woman, or person), interns will dabble in (and excel at) a variety of tasks at GrubStreet. Duties include:

  • Customer service: answering phones and emails, becoming experts in our programing, answering questions about who we are and what we do, and more.
  • Researching partnerships and models for growth.
  • Office administration, such as filing, assisting with mailings, doing research on a variety of topics, running to the post office, and whatever else strikes our fancy (like posing for pictures with a giant promotional teddy bear or picking up donuts for the whole office - including interns!).
  • Grunt work, such as helping us establish procedures at our beautiful new center in the Seaport, restocking supplies, and setting up for events and classes.

Necessary skills for all interns: ENTHUSIASM, willingness to work on a variety of projects, ability to work independently and with minimal direction, superb attention to detail, stellar organizational skills, ability to learn new tasks quickly, pride in a job well done, and the ability to do all these with cheer and a sense of humor.

Please note that interns do not have a role in instructing courses - but they do get to take a free class!
