We’re building the next generation of social impact leaders.
Second Day places underrepresented candidates in paid internships at social impact groups. Then, we offer them the training, mentorship, and connections they need to become tomorrow’s leaders.

If you’re accepted, we’ll offer you wrap-around training, coaching, and long-term career support.
