Jonathan’s Answer

I would suggest starting with firms owned or operated by the faculty members where you plan to take your architecture courses. Initiating a dialogue and relationship with your professors has multiple benefits for you both as a student and as an intern, plus you'll be competing in a smaller marketplace than seeking internships with firms at large. Architecture creates buildings but a career is about building relationships and it's never too early to start.

Hi Sky,
I think that you will be at an extreme disadvantage if you have not even started attending an architecture school to land yourself an internship in a firm for the summer. Your best best would be to call local larger firms that can absorb young people. You might be helping build models or running errands. There is no rush to intern in a firm. There are many aspects of architecture that you can learn by working in other areas such as construction, or just in a field where communication is an important part. You can also look for jobs in supplies such as plumbing, lumber yards etc. just to understand the different components of the field.
You certainly will not find a part time or online job in an architecture firm. You need to be all in and willing to put in extra hours to show your ambition and desire. Good luck !

I would go to the university's career center and apply for paid or unpaid internships thru them. When I did a Finance Internship, I got paid and got a grade for it. Talk to your professors they may have a lot of connections on your field.
