ProX Summer intern Mia Myers, recently joined fellow interns Madison Peppers and Bryan Mayer to talk with Steve Kraske live on KCUR 89.3 Up to Date! They discussed gun violence in Kansas City, and how the projects they worked on during their paid ProX summer internships with KC Common Good, Second Chance KC (Kansas City Metropolitan Crime Commission), and the City of Kansas City, Mo., Health Department, addressed the issue. ProX is a regional collaborative that pairs Kansas City students with area businesses for five-week paid summer internships or work projects supervised by a professional mentor. An initiative incubated at the Kauffman Foundation, ProX provides coaching support to every student throughout the application, placement, learning and work experience. “It's a way that you can go into whatever field that you want. There are so many different internships that they had, so you can like do different things that might tailor to your career or just interest you. And another thing is, it was paid. And I think that's a big thing to say because a lot of the kids that are out here, they need money. They need something to be able to support themselves or their families. So, I think that even just being able to get more opportunities like these internships will also just make such a difference,” said Mia Myers who completed a Prox internship with KC Common Good.
