As an EQT Intern, you will participate in a 12-week paid “real-world experience” internship program. Not only will you be involved in learning activities unique to your role, but you will learn and grow with #Qrew. If innovation and powering the future sounds exciting to you, we encourage you to apply!

Here is how the Community Relations Intern, Impact Works role will impact our business:

As an EQT Community Impact Intern participating in our Impact Works program, you'll spend your summer working alongside nonprofit organizations across EQT's footprint, helping advance meaningful projects that strengthen our communities. Unlike a traditional internship, Impact Works offers the opportunity to rotate among multiple nonprofit partners, gaining hands-on experience with a variety of missions, projects, and community needs. Throughout the summer, you'll support short-term assignments ranging from communications and marketing to event planning, volunteer coordination, grant research, and organizational support. Each assignment offers a new opportunity to develop professional skills, build relationships, and experience firsthand the important role nonprofits play in our communities. Launched in 2026, Impact Works supported 22 nonprofit organizations during its inaugural summer. We're looking for curious, creative, and adaptable students who are eager to build on that success while gaining valuable experience in nonprofit management, corporate philanthropy, and community engagement.

• Work directly with nonprofit partners on short-term projects that support their missions and organizational needs.
