Types of Internships:​​​

• Full Time- As a full-time intern, you’re a core member of the OWL staff team. You live and work at OWL’s Gateway campus whenever students are present, staying in tents with teachers and students overnight. You lead lessons, supervise students, and take on real responsibility as a field instructor. Weeks typically run Monday morning through Friday afternoon, with multiple long breaks for personal time. Many interns use this downtime to take 1–2 remote classes while gaining valuable teaching and leadership experience. You’ll receive extensive training to feel confident as a leader, and this role has the biggest impact—for both you and OWL.​

​

• Part-time- For those who can’t commit full-time, part-time internships are available in two formats: partial week or daily. Partial-week interns stay overnight for 2–3 days at a time (such as M–W or W–F) and take on the same leadership training and teaching responsibilities as full-time interns, just in a shorter window. Daily interns typically work one or two 8-hour shifts per week, helping teach lessons, supervising students, and supporting staff. While part-time roles involve less responsibility overall, they still provide meaningful experience and the chance to contribute in a flexible way.
