Foster Youth Opportunities

Established in 2016 in part by an endowment created by Dick Wolf's Wolf Family Foundation, these experiential learning opportunities give undergraduate and graduate college students in the Greater Los Angeles area (counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura) extraordinary access to entertainment media professionals. The program offers students an eight-week, paid summer period in Los Angeles. Interns will receive professional development, mentorship, and networking opportunities to build community and prepare them to enter the industry. Open to all class levels.

Internships will take place June 17 - August 9, 2024
