Meaningful Internship Opportunities in Senior Living
If you think senior living is only about healthcare, think again. At Goodwin Living, many departments and service lines work together to provide high-quality care to older adults in our communities and across the D.C. Metro region. These teams offer many non-clinical opportunities for interns to learn and make meaningful contributions to our work.
Goodwin Living is a mission-driven, not-for-profit organization that seeks to support, honor and uplift the lives of older adults and those who care for them. We offer paid, non-clinical internships in the following departments:
- Information Technology (IT)
- Marketing & Communications
- Life Enrichment
- Strategic Planning
- Brain Health
- Supply Chain
- Social Work
- Finance
- Registered Dietitian
- …and more!
