Use your existing app-building skills to create practical technology that helps single mothers persist in college and build strong futures for their families.

About Us

We’re Momentum Network — a Chattanooga-based, Christ-centered nonprofit driven by a clear mission: to see connected, empowered, and educated moms transform not just their own lives, but entire communities. We believe in the power of pregnant students and single mothers in college — and their children — to break generational barriers and create a new future.

Position Summary

The App Development Intern will help Momentum Network build and improve technology used by our staff and the students and families we serve. Working directly with the CEO and collaborating with team members who understand the program, the intern will translate real organizational needs into well-scoped, usable app features.

This is a strong fit for a student who has already built a working app, website, or software project and is ready to apply those skills in a real-world setting. We will provide mission context, priorities, user feedback, and coaching; the intern should bring demonstrated technical ability, initiative, and the persistence to move a project from idea to tested result.

What You’ll Do

• Meet with the CEO and staff to understand user needs, current workflows, priorities, and the problem each feature should solve.
• Translate ideas into clear requirements, user stories, simple wireframes, and achievable development milestones.
• Build, test, and improve defined features for responsive, accessible web-based or mobile-friendly applications used by staff and program participants.
• Connect front-end experiences to databases, APIs, authentication, and permission systems when required by the project.
• Troubleshoot bugs, test features across devices, and respond constructively to staff and user feedback.
• Use version control and maintain organized, readable code or platform documentation so the work can be supported after the internship.
• Participate in regular check-ins, demonstrate progress, and explain barriers early.
• Protect confidential information and follow organizational expectations for data privacy, security, and appropriate access.
• Complete a final demonstration and handoff that includes the feature status, setup instructions, known limitations, and recommendations for continued development.

Required Qualifications

• Must be between 18 and 24 years old and meet all eligibility and documentation requirements for the TYEP-funded placement.
• Currently enrolled in a college, university, community college, or accredited technical program.
• Demonstrated app-building capability through a portfolio, GitHub repository, published app, class project, freelance project, hackathon entry, or live demonstration. Applicants should be prepared to explain what they personally built and how it works.
• Working knowledge of at least one modern programming language, framework, or app-development platform, plus the ability to learn unfamiliar tools.
• Ability to break a large problem into smaller steps, debug thoughtfully, research solutions, and ask for help when truly blocked.
• Dependable communication, time management, and follow-through in a flexible work environment.
• Comfort working within and respectfully representing Momentum Network’s Christ-centered, two generation life-affirming mission and values.

Compatible Majors and Programs

Relevant fields may include Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Information Systems, Management Information Systems, Web Development, Mobile Application Development, Computer Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, UX/UI Design with a development focus, Data Science with software-development experience, or a related technical certificate program. Students in other majors are welcome to apply if their portfolio demonstrates the required ability.

Preferred Experience

• React and TypeScript or another modern front-end framework.
• Supabase, PostgreSQL, Firebase, or another database and back-end service.
• Git and GitHub, API integrations, authentication, and role-based access permissions.
• Responsive web or mobile development, user testing, accessibility, and basic UX/UI design.
• AI-assisted or low-code development tools, paired with an understanding of how to debug, secure, document, and maintain the resulting application.

What You’ll Gain

• A meaningful, portfolio-ready project with real users, community impact, and experience to strengthen your resume.
• Experience gathering requirements, managing scope, testing with users, documenting work, and presenting results.
• Practical exposure to nonprofit technology, data stewardship, and user-centered product development.
• Coaching in workplace communication, professionalism, teamwork, time management, problem-solving, and adaptability.
