This might sound weird but have you tried craigslist? You might get some weird responses but when I started my career, I got my first gig working on wordpress plugins by putting a post up and I helped a few small businesses in my area during the summer. I got to play with the dogs at the vet clinic and build stuff. win win lol

This might sound annoying at first but consider it: there are multiple companies that offer internship programs (think study abroad orgs CIEE, IES etc). If you play your cards right and are aggressive with the coordinators, you might be able to get a decent position. You’d pay like 1.5k for a sophomore summer internship but if you get a solid junior summer offer, the investment pays off. Think spend 1.5k to make 20k

Levels has an internship page. Best advice I can give for someone in your position is to get creative and scrappy. It’s very unlikely you’re going to beat out juniors applying for the same internship slots. Unless you already have some solid foundations, you might have to make your own internship. Network with people at your school to see if there’s an alumni that could use an intern. Join LinkedIn groups and any other college networks to put out feelers.
