The Nikkei Community Internship (NCI)

The Nikkei Community Internship (NCI) is the best opportunity for college students to build networks, professional skills, and make an impact in the Japanese American community.

Occurring during the summer, our Internship is a paid, 8- week, full-time internship experience designed to help you make your mark in the community. Participants have the opportunity to intern in Southern California through Kizuna, or Northern California through the Japanese Community Youth Council (JCYC) and Japantown Community Congress of San Jose (JCCSJ).

Design and implement impactful projects, meet community leaders, and build your legacy by helping to shape our community’s future in Kizuna's internship program.
