Internship · SkillBridge
Keep leading.
Two internships that give transitioning service members valuable experience while contributing to a greater mission.
Internship 01 · SkillBridge Program
Administrative internship.
The Britt Foundation has partnered with the Military’s SkillBridge Program to help transitioning service members gain valuable administrative and management experience. This program is designed to equip veterans with practical skills that will aid in their transition to civilian careers.
Why is transitioning challenging for veterans?
Lack of Civilian Credentials
Many veterans possess strong leadership and technical skills but lack formal degrees or certifications required in the civilian job market.
Resume Translation Issues
Military experiences and qualifications don’t always translate directly into civilian job descriptions, making it difficult for veterans to showcase their strengths.
Loss of Camaraderie & Purpose
Military service provides a deep sense of purpose and teamwork. The transition to civilian life can sometimes lead to stress, uncertainty, and a lack of direction.
How the SkillBridge internship helps
Administrative & Operational Training
Interns will assist with key functions of the Britt Foundation, such as event coordination, nonprofit management, fundraising efforts, and logistics.
Career Development & Resume Support
We provide resources to help interns build strong civilian resumes and translate their military experience into marketable skills.
Professional Networking Opportunities
Interns will have access to industry professionals who can provide mentorship and career guidance in a variety of fields.
Our goal is to provide transitioning service members with the tools they need to succeed in their next chapter.
Internship 02 · Veteran Outdoor Leadership
Mentor the next generation.
For highly trained veterans who have specialized skills in leadership, survival, and outdoor navigation, the Veteran Outdoor Leadership Internship offers an opportunity to mentor high school students through adventure-based experiences.
Why this internship matters. This program is designed for veterans who want to use their military skills in a meaningful way—by guiding and mentoring the next generation of young leaders. Many high school students participating in our programs are preparing for military service or seeking personal growth through extreme outdoor challenges.
What veteran mentors will do
Serve as Adventure Guides & Mentors
Veterans will lead high school students through activities such as rock climbing, mountaineering, rappelling, and backcountry navigation, fostering resilience and leadership.
Teach Outdoor & Survival Skills
Drawing from military experience, interns will train students in map reading, first aid, teamwork, and mental toughness.
Provide Leadership Development
Veterans will help students develop confidence, discipline, and problem-solving skills—preparing them for future challenges in life, school, and career paths.
Create a Strong Veteran-Student Bond
Many young people look up to veterans as role models. This program gives veterans an opportunity to guide students while finding renewed purpose in the civilian world.
Why veterans should apply
A Way to Give Back
Use your military expertise to make a lasting impact on young people.
Outdoor & Team-Based Work
Stay engaged in physically active and team-oriented roles.
Pathway to Careers in Outdoor Leadership
Gain experience for careers in coaching, guiding, and adventure-based leadership programs.
At the Britt Foundation, we believe adventure has the power to transform lives—both for the students who participate and the veterans who lead. Both programs offer an unparalleled opportunity for transitioning service members to gain valuable experience while contributing to a greater mission. Whether through administrative support in the SkillBridge Program or mentoring students in outdoor leadership, veterans will find a place where they can continue leading and inspiring others.
In their words
From past interns.
“I am very thankful for all of you guys and the impact you have had in my journey and would love to come on future trips/continue mentoring young people.”
Elizabeth “I just want to say how thankful I am that I got to participate in this internship! This experience without a doubt has helped me become more prepared for life outside the military. I plan to stay in touch and hopefully be the speaker in a future Thursday meeting sharing my story to help other veterans! Thank you Rebecca & Martin!”
Shay “Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be one of your interns. Although your organization is focused on the kids, I realize now that you are also serving a vital role for transitioning service members by affording us this opportunity. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
