Freshman Year Internship

Hey guys, I’m a first year at UVA looking to garner at least a LMM PE internship for this upcoming summer, hopefully a boutique IB internship. I’m from Chicago, so I’m looking at firms in the Chicago area to work for. I’ve had a hard time finding these small firms with about 5 to 20 people who would offer such an internship. Any advice that can help me get on the right path to obtaining such an internship? I’m also looking to obtain something during the school year as well, which would be remote. Thanks.
