Internships: NOT SCIENCE

So I did a basic search but couldn’t really find anything completely helpful so sorry if this is a question asked all the time.

I’m a high school student looking for an internship. All I can find are “research oppurtunes” and internships for things in the sciences. I’m really interested in the humanities/government/journalism. How would I go about finding an internship for something of that nature…

1. Would emailing a professor at a college in a department I like be too weird? Would I just be like “I was wondering if there was any internships avaliable?” Would I need to be completely in the know on the subject? What would an internship of this nature entail?

2. I’ve looked at things like the United Nations and government officials and stuff; all of them want college kids. Is there anyone who wants someone in high school?

lol thanks
