About the Role

FREOPP is seeking a highly motivated intern to serve as an Operations Intern in our growing organization.

This is a hands-on, high trust role for someone who enjoys learning quickly, solving problems, and bringing structure to a fast paced environment. The Operations Intern will work closely with senior staff and contribute across a wide range of organizational functions, including operations, development, research, scheduling, data management, and special projects.

Because FREOPP is a rapidly growing organization, this is not a traditional administrative internship. While the role includes important backend responsibilities that keep the organization running, the Operations Intern will also be trusted with meaningful responsibilities, independent projects, and opportunities to improve how FREOPP operates.

The role is intentionally broad and dynamic. The successful candidate should be comfortable handling both routine details and unfamiliar problems, and should approach both with the same level of care.
