If you are from a university or organizational entity and would like to partner on an event, class, or project, we would be happy to chat with you about possibilities. Please send inquiries or ideas to Danielle Bogardus (danielle@connect-3.org).
Internship Opportunities
Our interns are an extremely important part in helping Connect 3 make a change in the world. As such, we have a wide variety of ongoing internship opportunities. While most of our interns do tend to originate from universities, we do not require they be affiliated with an academic institution to be considered for joining the team.
To apply to one of our specified projects (linked above), or propose a project of your own, please send your resume and a brief letter of interest to danielle@connect-3.org.
Supply Donation
Supplies are a great way to contribute to Connect 3 if you prefer to donate in the form of tangible objects rather than monetary funds. We will be updating this page soon with a list of supplies currently needed. Or, if you have equipment that you think might be helpful but aren't sure, feel free to reach out to us anytime.
