Internship Application

OMF is proudly collaborating with local partners to offer internships to talented students with a taste for entrepreneurship. The internship is a paid, part-time position offered to public high school juniors to begin in the first semester of their senior year. We are currently accepting applications for Fall Semester 2016. The internship pays a competitive wage based on applicant ability and involves a time commitment of 10-15 hours per week. It runs from September through December, with a possible extension for exceptional students. Applicants should live within commuting distance of Bishop Street, Honolulu. Eligible students may qualify for bus pass reimbursement.
