Maple Broadband is a not-for-profit municipal utility working to ensure that high-speed fiber-optic broadband is available to all residents and businesses.

The intern will attend regular weekly meetings, assist the Executive Director (and any Maple Broadband suppliers) with data analysis and planning, marketing and outreach, grant compliance and internal operations. In short, be a part of the management team for the summer.

Start date: June 8 (flexible). Minimum of 8 weeks at 30 hours per week.
