TheDream.US DreamBuilders Internship Program has launched

The DreamBuilders Internship Program connects TheDream.US Alumni with current Scholars to create valuable internship experiences that promote mentorship and professional growth. This initiative enables Alumni to host Scholar interns who are currently enrolled, with payment for the internship covered by TheDream.US.

 

Program Phases:

  1. Promotion to Alumni (Ongoing): We're actively promoting this opportunity to our Alumni. An initial email was sent on August 15, and you can view it here. Alumni can post internships on Parker Dewey via our program website: link.

Please promote this opportunity to your TheDream.US Alumni 

 

  1. Promotion to Scholars (Starting Late August): We'll soon be reaching out to our Scholars, urging them to apply for these internships. Introductory emails to Scholars will begin in the last week of August. Details can be found in the Scholar Program Flyer. Scholars can apply for DreamBuilders Internships on Parker Dewey through this website: link.

Please wait to promote this opportunity to your Scholars until the last week in August
