What's the value of an internship? How can institutions and employers get together to maximize the benefits of these for all involved? Listen to my great conversation about this with Joshua Kahn from National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) to hear about their programs, advocacy, and assessments.

Did you know that having an internship can nearly DOUBLE the number of job offers a student receives after graduation? We’re dedicated to ensuring our Scholars—all teen parents in college—get access to this invaluable career experience. Your company can help by hosting a Generation Hope Scholar intern this summer! While our Scholars’ career interests are varied, many of them are pursuing degrees in healthcare, business, education, social work, and criminal justice.

"Thrilled to be part of the winter internship at Child Help Foundation! Today, we reported our findings after a comprehensive survey, joining Miss Shilpa in a conference to strategize the next steps. Exciting times ahead as we work towards making a meaningful impact on the lives of underprivileged children. #ChildHelpFoundation #WinterInternship #CSRInitiatives #MakingADifference"

Ahead of the #SummitOfTheFuture, I joined 55 other youth experts to contribute to NORRAG on "Meaningful Youth Engagement: Time to Deliver". In this piece titled; Why Representation Matters, Matteo De Simone and I attempt to explain the protracted systemic imbalance in UN internships that have kept the already underrepresented group out of opportunities. For the Fair Internship Initiative , meaningful engagement means making UN internships quality, accessible, and PAID. This has the potential of drastically addressing inequalities—protecting economically disadvantaged families in the global south from poverty and beaming hope to the next generation of leaders with just one opportunity. Understanding the interconnectedness of income disparity at the family levels and youth development made me join FII to advocate for internship reform even as a child rights expert by practice. Today, I'm pleased to have co-authored with Matteo De Simone, the co-founder of Fair Internship Initiative and I thank the Ban Ki-moon Foundation, Global Partnership for Education and Learning Planet Institute for amplifying our voices.

Greetings LinkedIn Family, This past Monday, I completed the first half of my internship with Students for Voting Justice. During this time, I’ve gained valuable skills in political organizing, content creation, postcarding, and more. I’m excited to see what the second half of the internship will bring! Below is an ad I created as part of one of my tasks—hope you enjoy it! #PoliticalOrganizing #ContentCreation #VotingJustice #InternshipJourney

…such a substantive conversation today with TWC President Kimberly Churches, aimed at amplifying the connection and collaboration between Miami Dade College (MDC) and The Washington Center (TWC). For over a decade, The Honors College at Miami Dade College students and other scholars, with the mentorship of our world class professors, have travelled to the Capitol to participate in the immersive Inside Washington convening of engaged learners, faculty, and public/private sector officials. We’re laser focused on expanding opportunities for MDC students to engage first hand in peer interactions, internships, and other career-connected environments. #BeMDC #StudentsFirst #studentsuccess #careerconnections #publicpolicy

I am so happy to meet with our students — whether it’s 2 or 12 or 20:— to learn about their Cougar Experience, what we do well, and areas we could do better. Today we spent quite a bit of time on internships. #GoCoogs #studentaffairs #studentsuccess #highereducation #studentvoice

There are so many important lessons here: 1. Own voices: Provide opportunities for affected people to tell their own stories in their own voices. 2. Provide mentors and role models that are reflective of the population you serve. 3. Boost internships. They can lead to high quality jobs and important networking. 4. Listen and respond to the population you serve. Small interventions can be very impactful.
