ReIMAGINE INTERNSHIP

Seventeen youth worked as interns with SFUSD’s Leading for Equity team examining serious issues that impact them, their peers, and their schools. After being on a listening tour, and engaging in deep research, they were able to present their findings and suggestions to the leaders of the San Francisco Unified School District — including Dr. Matthews himself! The recommendations they proposed around wellness and engagement were insightful and taken seriously by our city’s leaders. We are very proud of their work and their influence and we know they will continue to use their voices, experiences, listening skills and more, to create positive impact in all their future endeavors.

REIMAGINE INTERNSHIP

We are thrilled to announce a $75,000 grant from the Walter and Elise Haas Fund. This grant will allow Enterprise to provide job-readiness training and paid internships to a group of young women of color who will work as Youth Facilitators with the Leading for Equity Committee at San Francisco's Unified School District.

Enterprise Alumna Katalina Mendoza will work with us to facilitate the internship, which will be offered as a bi-lingual experience. Enterprise is dedicated to supporting youth through training, direct workforce experience linked to college coursework, and ongoing career-development and networking opportunities.
