Vigilant Torch is committed to providing opportunities for members of our community to connect and grow.  The Vigilant Torch Internship Program is a paid internship that will hire two eligible students for 13-month terms.  As interns, they will learn about how non-profits conduct day-to-day business, strategic planning, and other valuable organizational skills.  Our interns will receive training and mentoring from members of our select community and will be pivotal players in Vigilant Torch’s ability to serve and grow.
