ReIMAGINE INTERNSHIP

Enterprise for Youth’s Reimagine Internship has successfully provided job-readiness training and paid internships for an amazing group of young women of color who have worked as Youth Facilitators with the Leading for Equity Committee at San Francisco's Unified School District.

Through the courageous conversations these young women have had about their lives and identities, together they have built actionable plans to innovate around education opportunities in the communities they come from and seek to serve. These young women have demonstrated their leadership skills by their continued perseverance and commitment to do the work and show up throughout the committee's process. All of this indicates what their futures hold – thriving and vibrant lives full of success!

On behalf of all the young women who have served as Youth Facilitators in SFUSD's Leading for Equity Committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to celebrate with us these amazing young women and their accomplishments on Thursday, May 27, 2021, from 4 - 5:30 PM on Zoom. Attendees will enjoy presentations from Committee Members and discussions reflecting on the process and outcomes of the committee work. We are proud to be celebrating these young women and their accomplishments, and we hope to see you there.

Respectfully yours,

Katalina Mendoza Enterprise for Youth Program Associate & Program Alumna
