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.

"I had an incredible time on the Hill, and it was the best internship I have had because of the people I met and the things I experienced." Interning in Congress can be a great way to jumpstart a career in government. Read Bennie Chang's (SFS'26) advice on how to land a congressional internship.

Meet Wren Heron ‘24! Wren studied Communications and Media and minored in English and Asian Studies. We asked Wren about future plans and favorite parts at Naz: 1. What was your best experience at Naz? If I were to rank my best experiences, the top ones would be the time I’ve spent with the friends who I’ve made on campus. Nothing compares to the affinity we found with each other and the way we all supported each other in growing and learning about ourselves. 2. Who was your favorite professor? Dr. Phillip B. Guingona has had a tremendous impact on me as both a student and a person. His classes allowed me to pursue academic interests that I hadn’t previously had the opportunity to explore, meet my closest friends, and start learning more about myself. As a professor, Phillip truly values the lens that I bring to the classroom as an interdisciplinary student, and he has wholeheartedly supported my research and academic endeavors, even when I haven’t been confident in them myself. 3. What’s next? Summer internship at LáLew Public Relations- a woman and minority-owned public relations firm that champions diversity, equity, and inclusion in client work. After the summer, I hope to pursue a career path that allows me to engage in DEI work and push for more inclusive and accessible language.

Throughout this fall semester, I accomplished many goals. I learned and created impact by continuing to be a Bonner Intern, expanding the One Love Foundation on campus, and working on my Bonner Capstone. Starting as a Bonner Intern, I took charge of Bonner's Summer of Service and led the first-year class as they transitioned from high school. I created new relationships with the first-year and developed a workshop that led Bonners to search for their summer internships. Taking leadership, facilitating meetings, and being a resource for the program expanded my knowledge in administration and management. While these are only a few things I partook in, these two roles were the most significant as a Senior Intern. I successfully led a workshop with the One Love Foundation, demonstrating the signs of unhealthy relationships. With my team, we decided to show Road Trip, a short film presenting the idea of masculinity and how it can impact a relationship. Several students learned at least one new thing from the event by providing resource cards, bracelets, and worksheets. I plan to continue hosting workshops in the spring as it makes a difference within the Allegheny community. Moving along to my Bonner Capstone, similar to the One Love Foundation, I can advocate for unhealthy relationships on campus. By providing the resources on campus and improving the relationship with Meadville's Women's Services, more students will have the knowledge and resources if ever in need. Partnering up with another Bonner makes this process more accessible as we advocate for change and improvement so students can access those resources. The timeline may have been the most challenging, but much has been completed, making it more reassuring. These are small accomplishments I made throughout this Fall Semester. In the spring, I have new goals to improve and expand in all three areas. I can't wait to see what's to come! Thank you to all who helped me achieve my goals along the way. 

Meet Trey, our Strategy & Planning Intern. He jumped straight into work with us this summer and has been learning so much working with our incredible planning team. Today, we’re wishing him a happy #NationalInternDay! Get to know this VCU Richard T. Robertson School of Media and Culture senior below. Q: What is your favorite part of your role? A: I love the opportunity to learn new things. Being an intern is awesome because you’re able to get your hands dirty, observe the pros, and ask the stupid questions that are inevitable when entering the industry. Elevation is such a welcoming place and I couldn’t ask for a better crew to spend my summer with. Q: What’s something interesting about you that’s not on your resume? A: I am the proud winner of the 2011 Morrisville Elementary School Talent show, being one of only three second graders to ever win it at the time. I may have only been eight, but my dance moves were a solid 10. Q: If you could use one word to describe your career journey, what would it be? A: Dawning
