Planning and Development Intern

The Cambridge Redevelopment Authority (CRA) is planning to hire two Planning and Development Interns for the Summer of 2024. The CRA internship program aims to empower aspiring urban planning and community development professionals by offering training, mentorship, and a supportive environment to foster equitable planning and redevelopment work.

Working collaboratively as part of the CRA’s Planning and Development team, interns will support the implementation of a variety of real estate and community infrastructure projects along with research, analysis, project design, and community engagement initiatives related to the CRA’s redevelopment programs. Interns will be staffed on curated set of projects aligned with their professional interests to provide for a breadth of experience. Interns will report to the Director of Projects and Planning and work closely with the CRA’s project management and project planning staff. Dedicated project leads will guide interns in approaching their tasks and help refine their technical skills, while the CRA’s Leadership Team will offer valuable insights to support their broader career growth. We look forward to benefiting as an organization from the skills interns have gleaned through their lived and curricular experiences as we seek to reshape public redevelopment.
