Unrestricted Internship 2026

Feel like a misfit amongst the majority? An outsider around the ordinary? A rebel compared to the rule-followers? Well then, you’ve found your calling.

The Unrestricted Internship is for infinitely curious people who break rules, destroy convention, and pursue the what-ifs. It doesn't matter if you're an up-and-coming designer, marketer, writer, analyst, engineer, or whatever – you bring the passion, and we'll teach you the rest.

Selected Interns will spend 8 weeks working from Against HQ in Boise, Idaho. Over the summer, you'll delve into uncharted territory as you work together to create real work for real agency clients, really. You'll experience on-the-scene training as you work alongside the Against team, take part in real-deal agency business, and attend workshops led by industry pros. More than anything, the Unrestricted Internship will provide you with hands-on experience, newfound professional skills, and the confidence to work in a fast-paced environment.
