Ellie Zimmerman founded Interns4Good at age 16 after being frustrated trying to find meaningful and accessible internships in high school. Ellie, like many high school students, had interests she wanted to pursue but no opportunities in order to do so. She came up with the idea to make Interns4Good after going on a backpacking trip with 25 other high school students from across the country. Hearing they had similar struggles to her made her determined to change the way high school students applied for internships. Ellie is currently a senior in high school and her company has grown into a massive success.
