Frequently asked questions
Can you clarify who you serve?
We work with neurodivergent young people, typically with LD, ADHD, or autism, aged 18-26 with a high school diploma. They are all college capable. Although some are not yet college ready, or have decided not to pursue college. All are motivated to join the program and understand the value of our competitive internships and support model for their success.
When is the best time to participate in a BroadFutures program? If an applicant is a freshman in college, does it make sense to wait until they are more mature?
It depends on the individual. We work with young people right out of high school as well as those who have graduated college. For certain internships, such as in think tanks, policy, or IT, prior experience or coursework is generally required. For applicants seeking any internship experience, the decision depends more on motivation and maturity.
Is it a competitive application process?
Our application process is competitive. We receive approximately three times the number of applicants as there are spots in our programs. This number includes applicants who do not complete the full application process, such as those who fail to finish the application, provide references, or sign up for an interview.
What are the skill sets of your staff?
All of our staff are fully trained by BroadFutures on how to deliver support to our interns and our employers. Our mentors and coaches bring a broad and diverse range of skills that are highly relevant to the work we do. Nearly all have graduate degrees and certifications in fields directly aligned with our mission, and many have specialized areas of expertise. Their experience and knowledge enable them to provide tailored, effective support that ensures the success of our interns.
Where are your internships located?
Some of your programs have a fee. Is there financial support available?
Additionally, our internships are paid. In the D.C. program, interns receive stipends equivalent to the D.C. minimum wage. Depending on the program, interns can earn between $2,500 and $3,800. For our National Program, compensation varies based on the specific internship.
We are committed to making our programs accessible to all qualified applicants. With scholarships and stipends we aim to ensure cost does not deter anyone from participating in our transformative programs.
