Join the award-winning team at The562.org and get hands-on experience in local, nonprofit journalism. The562 Network, Inc. is a registered 501c3 nonprofit based in Long Beach, CA, specializing in local sports and education reporting.

The application window for the 2023-24 school year is now closed. Check back at the start of next school year for more internship opportunities.

We began our internship program in 2020 with a pair of Long Beach State University journalism students, and expanded the program to include LBUSD high school students beginning with the 2021-22 school year.

We currently offer eight paid internship positions each school year, allowing LBUSD high school students to receive hands-on training in writing, photography, videography, social media, and all other aspects of sports journalism. More information is available on our application page on the school district website.

If you have questions about our internship program or would like to sponsor an intern, please email Tyler@The562.org
