<p>Is it possible to get an internship in high school, even if I'm in tenth grade? I would really like some work experience, but I was wondering, how impressive is it if I get a business internship over the summer? How much would it help me getting into a business school?</p>

<p>I'm in tenth and working at a lab......not through the school though.</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I'm a high school senior and I've had two internships so far. My school is a joint-venture between the school district the local community college. It's catered to 11th and 12th grade students. My first internship was a paid internship, but the second one wasnt (cheapskakes).</p>
<p>I didnt really have to go looking around for mine since we have a coordinator who is there to look for internships for students. I suggest you call around and maybe ask if they offer internships.. show them that you're very interested..etc</p>
<p>is there a website or something to search for high school internships?</p>
<p>I did internships in both 10th and 11th grade. In 10th grade it was required for school and in 11th grade I had a paid one. </p>
<p>I got them through family contacts. I wanted to work in architecture and I asked my grandparents, who know a bunch of architects, to find me a job. And they did. </p>
<p>Ask your friends and family first. They can be very helpful in getting great opportunities.</p>
<p>I was in a school program with an internship coordinator but we essentially set it up ourselves. I had two related internships last summer and this fall. You can definitely start as a sophomore, I wish I had, because mine were amazing. I worked at an adoption agency and I wish I had had more time, but at least it transitioned into another project, which was a gallery of adopted children. My point is essentially that age isn't a barrier so long as it is legal (the governor's office and state govt. has lately been very stringently enforcing the 18 and up rule, I live in state capitol). I worked with a part of the agency not related to confidentiality, because I worked with post-adoption families. If you get involved in an organization now you can move up, branch, out, so many opportunities. Make up a resume, drop it off at companies, nonprofits, park districts, research labs, whatever fits your fancy, and write up a general internship proposal. Ask for an interview. Put yourself out there, especially if you are interested in business, dress the part. Stress your interests and how the internship will help the agency you work with. Good luck.</p>
