Applications are now OPEN for the Jack Petchey Internship Programme 2026!

Posted on: July 30, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that the Jack Petchey Foundation is now accepting new applications from youth organisations to host an intern on our next internship programme. We will part-fund up to 20 internships for one year in youth organisations across London and Essex.

The Jack Petchey Internship Programme is designed to give young people a flying start in the youth sector and to help youth organisations increase the support they provide for young people in London and Essex. This will be the eighth cohort of our successful internship programme, which has so far supported over 170 young people into essential jobs in the youth sector.

You are eligible to apply for a grant to help fund a paid intern at your organisation starting in March 2026, if you:
🌟 are a youth charity or CIO working with young people in London or Essex
🌟 are currently running the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme
🌟 have an income between £150k and £5m

📅 Application deadline: 9am, Monday 8 September 2025.

​​​​​​​🚨 Before starting your application, please read the application guidance notes very carefully, which includes details on eligibility criteria, what kind of roles we are looking to fund and what else is involved in hosting a Jack Petchey intern.
