Summer 2027 Education Programs and Outreach Intern - Undergraduate

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth! 

Club for the Future (Club) is Blue Origin's K-12 education nonprofit focused on inspiring and mobilizing future generations to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). Club engages with external partners to host events, develops space-related online lessons for educators, enables and empowers employees to engage with students, and inspires the next generation through providing access to space.

As an intern, you will play a hands-on role in shaping the educational resources, events, and systems that bring space to classrooms across the country. This internship is ideal for future educators, education-focused communicators, and tech-savvy problem-solvers who are excited to leverage tools like AI and automation to streamline processes and scale the impact of a small but mighty nonprofit team.

During your internship, you can expect to: 

• Gain hands-on, real-world experience in education program development and nonprofit operations.  

• Receive mentorship and feedback from mentors and managers, including educators and program leads.  

• Participate in events to learn about other parts of Blue Origin. 

• Help us to inspire the next generation!
