The IncuHub Hosts Student Interns with the Portsmouth Public Schools Internship Program

The IncuHub and several of our member businesses are thrilled to be hosting 10 Portsmouth High School students as part of the Portsmouth Public Schools Internship Program this summer. The students will spend 8 weeks in an immersive, hands on learning experience, where they will work directly with their host businesses to learn about business management and entrepreneurship.

In addition to their daily tasks and responsibilities, the students are also being treated to several guest speakers in leadership positions in government and business, who will join the students to share their experiences and advice on life and leadership. Most recently, the students were joined by Portsmouth Chief of Police Stephen Jenkins, who spent an hour meeting and having a very engaging conversation with the students.

We're thrilled to continue our participation in this program, which sees more and more students join us every year. Stay tuned to this newsletter throughout the summer for more updates on the students and their experience with this wonderful program!

Member Spotlight: The WKW Cary Foundation

Meet The WKW Cary Foundation: A Mission Rooted in Awareness, Advocacy, and Action.

Headquartered at The IncuHub's Hampton location and led by Ariel Cary, The WKW Cary Foundation isn’t just another nonprofit - they are a family-inspired movement created to bring awareness to high-risk health issues affecting our communities every day. Born from personal loss and deep purpose, the foundation exists to spark change where it’s needed most: in education, access, and early detection.

Their journey started with heartache. After losing loved ones to breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other preventable illnesses, the WKW Cary Team knew they had to do more than mourn - they had to mobilize. What began as a tribute turned into a powerful platform that brings communities together through outreach events, health screenings, workshops, and wellness programs.

One of their signature events is the Pink & Blue Warriors Health & Awareness Event, held each September. This event brings the community together to raise awareness about all cancers—particularly breast and prostate cancer. But it’s more than that. They don’t just educate and provide vital health resources and screenings - they also honor individuals who are currently fighting, have survived, or have passed from cancer. It’s their way of saying: you are seen, you are valued, and you are not alone.

Through this celebration of courage and community, they uplift warriors and their families while empowering others with the tools to take charge of their health.

They also host initiatives year-round, from women’s wellness expos and college outreach to resource giveaways and self-care programs. No matter the project, their mission is consistent: to meet people where they are and help them move forward in mind, body, and spirit.

They are proud to collaborate with local businesses, healthcare professionals, and everyday changemakers who share their passion.

And we are proud that they are a part of our IncuHub family, and especially proud of the amazing work they're doing each and every day to make our community a happier, healthier place.
