About the PR & Communications Strategy Internship

This is not your typical PR internship. At CareYaya, you’ll step into a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where your voice and ideas will help shape how the world understands elder care, aging, and healthcare innovation.

CareYaya is one of America’s fastest-growing health tech startups, recognized by LinkedIn and featured in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Barron’s. We’re building a modern caregiving platform that connects college students with families in need of in-home elder care. And now, we need your help telling that story to the world.

This internship is ideal for students passionate about strategic communications, public relations, and thought leadership, especially those who want to make a meaningful social impact through storytelling.
