Will I receive academic credits or a paid Fellows Program/Internship?
Our fellowship programs are paid opportunities designed for students and recent graduates. Fellows work 15–25 hours per week on location and are compensated at $17–$19 per hour.
For students seeking academic credit, The Colibri Collective will collaborate with your institution to arrange credit where appropriate.
What are the Fellows program application deadlines?

What kind of work will I be doing?
Fellows work closely with clients and internal team members on real, hands‑on projects. A Fellow’s day may include managing advertising campaigns, supporting database and reporting needs, creating and automating workflows, preparing creative content, assisting with research, and contributing to client presentations.
