Here at CampusLife, a big part of our culture is mentoring. Therefore, through mentoring and guidance by our team, interns will move through different stations within the business such as sales, content creation/management, event planning, branding and so on to complete several projects.

Additionally, interns will also work in pairs using a buddy system. To goal here is to provide intentional peer mentoring relationship between interns, allowing you to share job-related knowledge and learnings, bounce ideas off each other, and provide psychosocial support for each other throughout the program.

While you will receive support and guidance from our team, working as an intern also requires initiative and motivation on your part. So come to work with an open mind and enthusiasm to learn; be proactive, research answers to problems before asking senior staff.
