Internships: 

Make-A-Wish New Mexico internships are coveted, both because of the inspiring mission and because interns get real-world experience alongside talented professionals. We offer several unpaid internships for each of the Spring, Summer and Fall semesters. All internships are based at the Make-A-Wish New Mexico office in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
