Alumni Internships
About the Summer Internship Program
The Rye Country Day School Summer Internship Program was launched by the Office of Alumni Relations in 2024. The program offers opportunities for RCDS college-aged alumni to apply for real-world professional learning experiences, spanning diverse fields such as law, medicine, finance, publishing, theater, fashion, public relations, and government, among others. All internships are made possible through the generous partnership of RCDS parents and guardians.
If you have any questions about the Summer Internship Program or need further assistance, please contact Director of Alumni Relations Melissa Mahoney Wirth '97, P'27, P'29, P'31 at internship@ryecountryday.org.

the candidates were incredibly strong
The [RCDS alumni] candidates were incredibly strong. To put it into perspective, there were 13,000 applicants for 300 internship opportunities—two RCDS alumni were chosen!

the candidates were very impressive
The [RCDS alumni] candidates were very impressive. The reason we are interviewing two finalists in person is that we couldn't decide based on initial interviews, as both were such good candidates and interviewed so well.
