Bulldogs by the Bay
Having launched an 8-internship program in 2005 in San Francisco, CA, Bulldogs by the Bay has grown in size to more than 20 positions, offering a diverse array of employment opportunities and fun activities in the Bay Area. Because of the region's size and wide range of opportunities, BBB is structured somewhat differently in that the compensation varies based on the employer, and housing is the responsibility of the Bulldog. However, discounted housing is available on the Berkeley campus. Bulldogs are supported by weekly high-content alumni events and fun exploration trips led by alumni on the weekends. www.bulldogsbythebay.com
