What are Freshman/Sophomore Internships Like?

I'm a current freshman looking for internship opportunities, but the only opportunities I'm seeing are more like sales reps meant to sell wealth management/life insurance products (New York Life, Northwest Mutual, etc.). Is this how early internships are, or am I not searching the right way?
