The Greystar Summer Internship Program packs 10 weeks with real projects, real responsibility, and real connections. You'll dive straight into the action on a team like Investment, Finance, Marketing, IT, Data, Leasing, Development, or Operations—doing work that actually moves the needle, not just watching from the sidelines.
Along the way, you'll get a front-row seat to the rest of the business too, through:
- Executive Speaker Series — hear directly from the people leading the industry

- Mentor Relationships — build connections that go beyond the summer
- Site Visits — see the work happening in the field, up close
