Intern or Volunteer with PHH

"I liked the non-office environment. I wasn't making coffee like I might have been at a large non-profit, I was really involved. It was great to have my ideas heard and watch them become reality." - Vanessa, PHH intern, June - July 2012

We are always eager to hear from enthusiastic students who would like to intern in our Boston-area office and community members who are interested in volunteering.
