Pay Our Interns is a bipartisan nonprofit based in Washington, DC, that advocates for more paid internships across government, the private sector, and the nonprofit sector. It operates as a research platform, an advocacy guide, and a nationwide internship database to help students identify and access paid opportunities. The organization maintains that socioeconomic status should not determine a student’s ability to gain real-world work experience. It is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and gifts are tax-deductible where allowed by law. Its primary audience comprises students seeking paid internships and practical work experience across sectors. In addition to information and guidance, the group provides access to internship opportunities as part of its broader workforce development approach. In July 2020, Pay Our Interns announced a partnership with Symba, Inc. to support its mission during the pandemic.
