Gluten-Free Internships with the CDF

When I was in college, I had a fun internship at a radio station and another one with an awesome graphic design professor which gave me a lot of great experience. Today when I discovered an internship with the Celiac Disease Foundation, I was almost jealous that I wasn't back in college and living in California. This sounds like a great opportunity, especially for someone that is living with Celiac and interested in exploring the world of non-profit organizations. Below is the full internship description. Please contact the CDF directly if you have any questions about this position.
