Student Involvement at WXPN

The great programming of music, news and sports that you hear on WXPN is only possible with the help of a large team of student interns and work study students. WXPN is a remarkable work environment for motivated and independent individuals. Many students who start working with us their freshman year continue at WXPN until their education is complete.

To learn more about becoming involved with WXPN as a student, please select from the following opportunities:

WXPN Internships

WXPN welcomes students, particularly from the University of Pennsylvania, to apply for these unpaid internships. Intern applicants need to be available Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Most internship positions require a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week. Please select only one internship to apply to.

Please note: Due to the large volume of applications, we are unable to notify applicants who are not selected for internships

How to Apply

To apply for an internship, please send a resume and a completed internship application form (cover letter optional but preferred) to our Volunteer Coordinator.
