I’ve had great luck with interns and I’m always amazed at how under-utilized they are at other startups. The most common complaint I hear is where to find them besides posting a description on Craiglist. That inspired me to put this list of ten fifteen resources together. I’ve broken them down by unpaid, for credit and paid internships. You will notice there are duplicates that fit into both unpaid and paid categories.

I’ve also made the information available in this Philadelphia Internship Opportunities Google Doc.

Tips for getting started: Filter the resources you’re most interested in and start by looking at the link(s) provided. Your best bet is to post a description of what you’re looking for. Most of these will require you create a profile and some have an approval process. If you have any questions, contact the party specified below.
