They have been able to learn many new skills that will support them throughout their educational and career journeys. Quotes from our Amazing BEAM Center & Future and Options interns: "The most fulfilling experience during my internship was being able to guide the students to a path where they feel valued in the world as well as seeing them be forgiving and supportive to their peers." - Nova Alam (Future and Options Intern) "The most important thing I learned during my internship is how our attitudes, tone, and the way we carry ourselves can make the kids' day. It makes me really happy to be able to go to work knowing I can make a difference for each child I work with." - Gabriel Arboleda (BEAM Center Intern) "The most fulfilling experience during my internship was working with Coach Chris, Coach Su-Dony, Coach Terrance, and the kids. Seeing how they deal with the kids I could take away a lot, especially because it can be overwhelming at times and hard. In addition, working with the kids was awesome, especially when playing games together." - Deshouna WIlliams (BEAM Center Intern) Thank you again to all the interns for their hard work and dedication!
