SAILL Internship Program

The Margo Leonetti O'Connell '60 Students Advancing in Internship Leadership and Learning (SAILL) Program

Our signature Internship Program, The Margo Leonetti O'Connell '60 Students Advancing in Internship Leadership and Learning (SAILL) Program, has rapidly grown from 2 girls to over 60 student interns annually! This signature program fosters personal, educational and professional growth. Our girls become involved with a community of scholars and leaders while also learning the technicalities of some of the most renowned organizations to work for in Los Angeles.

SAILL is open to rising sophomores and above, providing our students opportunities to work with extraordinary leaders who are not only role models, but who have made important contributions within their fields. We believe the learning experience begins during the selection process: each student who applies for an internship and is often interviewed, providing practice and direction on presentation skills and highlighting her strengths and unique qualifications. As students are selected, they are "matched" with their preferred internship programs/fields, then move into their placements (typically for 4-6 weeks), where they deepen and broaden their knowledge and skills in "real life" work situations.
