Corporate Social Responsibility Intern, Spring 2024

“We make magic.” That’s our motto at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. And it permeates everything we do. At Disney, you’ll help inspire that magic by enabling our teams to push the limits of entertainment and create the never-before-seen!

Be a part of an innovative team and culture…
The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team resides within the Public Affairs division of Walt Disney World Resort and collaborates with internal partners across the entire company to address the most critical areas of need within our communities. We create magic inside of our parks by granting wishes to children with critical illnesses and their families. We also extend the magic of Disney into our communities through volunteering and making significant financial and non-financial investments in causes that make a difference every day in the lives of those around us.

A Day in the Life…
Because no social responsibility issues are alike, you’ll gain experience working across multiple areas to help create synergy and build dimension to our initiatives, which ultimately lead to lasting positive impacts in our communities.
