Look through internship directories*
Some internships are specifically for high school students, others require you to be a college student. If you encounter the latter, you can call to inquire about possibly allowing a high school student to intern, especially if you are taking advanced classes or have experience relevant to the job.

Don't overlook resources in your backyard.
Students often find internships through their parents, family friends, or neighbors. You can also stop in at local companies, non-profits, and community organizations to see if they need any additional help.
Create your own internship
Sometimes CU Boulder professors offer research opportunities and internships for high school students. See the
list of CU Boulder Academic Departments. Start by calling the department you are interested in, and talk to an administrative assistant. Often this person can lead you to someone who would know about opportunities for high school students.
Try an Internet Search
For more opportunities, try searching using words such as "high school internship Boulder biology" (or marketing, etc.)
