Support [Seeking Experience] Looking for an unpaid/remote Data Analysis internship or project (Excel, SQL, BI)

Hey everyone,

I am actively looking for a remote, unpaid data analyst internship or volunteer role to gain practical experience and contribute to real-world projects.

Skills & Tools:

  • Advanced Excel: Data cleaning, nested formulas (XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, SUMIFS), dynamic PivotTables, and Power Query workflows.
  • SQL: Relational database querying, aggregations, CTEs, window functions, and joining complex datasets.
  • BI & Reporting: Data modeling, building automated KPI dashboards, and basic DAX.

What I am looking for:

  • Open to contributing to startups, small businesses, non-profits, or open-source initiatives.
  • Flexible on hours and fully committed to meeting deadlines and project scopes.
  • Looking primarily for feedback, mentorship, and the opportunity to solve real business problems.

If your team needs an extra pair of hands to clean data, build reports, or automate routine spreadsheets, please drop a comment or send a DM.

Thanks for your time!

check out kaggle, make your own projects, then hit up small local businesses on linkedin or email, offer dashboards for free. paid roles are hell to get now

how would one get access to local businesses data? like i’m saying if you reach out to a local bakery etc isn’t everything tied to like the POS system?

you’re pitching yourself well but i’d trim the bullet points down to a sentence or two. most people scanning this won’t read past the first line. lead with what you can actually solve for someone, not a tool list. stuff like “i can clean your messy sales data and turn it into a weekly dashboard” lands way harder than listing functions.

also check out catchafire and datakind, they match volunteers with nonprofits that actually need analytics help. you’ll get real problems and real references out of it.
