Reviews

Programs Lead Intern

June 2020 - August 2020 Saint Paul, MN
“I loved this internship program. As Programs Lead Intern, I had the ability to work alongside the founder to create two training modules on HBCU History and Social-Emotional Wellness for the Near-Peer Mentoring Program. Courtney Gray, the founder, is amazing and taught me so much professionally and personally while still letting me guide my own project. Another thing I loved about this internship was working alongside my four fellow interns who made my experience worthwhile and were always willing to help out when needed. I would highly recommend this program to everyone. You get to help out your community while working with an amazing group of people and the best founder!”

Research Lead Intern

June 2020 - July 2020 Belleville, MI
“What I liked about this internship was the flexibility in hours. I had a full time job at night and I was able to make my own hours in terms of work scheduling. I also enjoyed the creative freedom given to myself and the rest of the intern team. I got to the chance to do the kind of research I was interested in and solve real problems at the same time.”
