Founded in 2020, The 10,000 Interns Foundation set out on a simple yet incredibly ambitious mission: to create 10,000 paid internships for talented Black students and graduates.
Why?
Because talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not.
Did it work? See for yourself:
- 1,000 organisations hired
- 100 corporate members
- 35 sectors engaged
And this year, in 2025, we will create the 10,000th internship for young Black and Black heritage talent.
Looking ahead, we will broaden our scope to increase equity of workplace experience as well as equity of workplace access.
We are driven to create a workplace where Black professionals have an equal seat at the table, their voices are heard, and their contributions are celebrated. We're changing perceptions and building a truly inclusive and equitable professional landscape.
Your contribution directly supports the 10,000 Interns Foundation, a registered charity dedicated to making this vision a reality. We provide paid internships, training, and mentorship to talented university students and recent graduates across the UK, opening doors to careers they’d most likely otherwise miss out on.
Join us in our mission to create a workplace and a society where Black talent is not just included, but truly valued and empowered to thrive. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.
