Hello Jenelle,
While you can seek out valuable experiences to add to your application, another option is to focus on how to display what you have already done. I recommend going to your schools career center to see examples of what your industry's resume should look like and edit yours to fit the formatting. Make sure you highlight the skills that are most desired for the internship, such as organization, time management, and ability to learn.
Good luck with your internship!

Showing that you have experience or that you are willing to give back to the community can go along way. Local elementary schools are always looking for student volunteers. Having a few things on your application along these lines can’t help you stand out..
