    INTERNSHIPS AT OPPFI

    At OppFi, interns make a real-world impact, handling projects that require higher-level thinking, collaboration, and leadership.

As a participant in our internship program, you'll be part of a cohort of interns across 13+ departments. In addition to the work you'll do within your department, you'll get to know your fellow interns through a variety of collaborative projects and virtual social events.
