If you're interested in anything English-related—like reading, writing, or helping people understand things—there are lots of great internships and opportunities you can explore. You could try working with a book publisher, magazine, or local newspaper to help with editing, writing, or organizing content. If you're into social media or branding, marketing internships are a great way to practice writing for blogs, Instagram, or websites. There's also something called UX writing, where you help make apps and websites easier to use by writing helpful messages and labels—perfect if you like both writing and tech.
If you enjoy teaching or helping others learn, tutoring or volunteering at a library or summer program is a great way to build communication skills. And if you can't find an internship yet, you can always start your own project—like a blog, newsletter, or short story collection—to show your creativity.
The most important thing is to keep writing, stay curious, and look for chances to work with words. Those skills can take you into all kinds of exciting careers!

Thank you so much! I'd never heard of UX writing before!

Hello!
I'd seek out internships at higher education institutions or with a newspaper, magazine or publisher. Anything that keeps you fresh with editing, technological advancement in doing work in English, Literature, or print media would be good. I never tell anyone to avoid internships because even if something isn't for you, you always learn from the experience.

That's a good point! Thank you for answering!
