Introducing Cloudflare’s Returnship Program
At Cloudflare, we’re excited to partner with Path Forward to support returners like you. We appreciate the skills, experiences, and perspectives you bring to our company and teams.
Our 16-week, paid returnship program is open to professionals with at least five years of experience who are returning to the workforce after a career break for caregiving of one or more years. If you meet these criteria, we welcome you to apply!
During the returnship, you’ll have the opportunity to sharpen your skills, update your resume with new experiences, make connections, contribute to a team, and possibly convert to a full-time position. Along the way, you’ll receive invaluable advice, support, and mentorship from Cloudflare managers and from Path Forward.

Gloria M. completed a returnship at Cloudflare that paved the way for a successful return to work after her career break of more than ten years. The Cloudflare returnship program is successful because of champions like Trey Guinn. Read their stories below!
At Cloudflare, Gloria found a culture that was both encouraging and engaging. “Employees welcomed us with open arms and were always there to lend a helping hand. Although I was a returnee, Cloudflare’s co-founder already knew my name on the very first day. You can imagine what an impact that made.” Read her story here.
Trey Guinn followed a nontraditional path to his current career, which motivated him to take part in the returnship program as a hiring manager. He talks about where his first cohort of returnees is now, and the special qualities that caregivers returning to work bring. Read his story here.
