How can I get an internship when I am still in high school

<p>I am a 17 year old high school student, and I want to get an internship. Could anyone please give me some advice about how to get an internship and where (which website) I can find intern opportunities? Thanks.</p>

<p>There’s a post about this somewhere already. You have very few options since most internships, unless they are specifically geared towards high school students, will accept you over a undergrad/grad student.</p>

<p>1- you have connections, use them to get a job
2- it’s geared towards high school students
3- (this is just my opinion) it’s research. a lot of researchers need grunt-work minions or help so you can always ask around labs or colleges etc. in your area (if applicable) to see if anyone needs help</p>

<p>If you don’t mind doing grunt work, you can call/e-mail a lot of places. This will only work at smaller firms</p>

<p>I asked a friend of my mom’s if his insurance agency needed an intern and he said that they needed a marketing specialist, to handle things like mailers, flyers, events, give away items, etc. I worked there for 6 months (at age 16, junior in high school) before I got a paid research internship designing a computer program (at 17, the age I am now). That one I found through my AP Environmental Science teacher.</p>

<p>Just ask around.</p>
