The supplies will be delivered to your home.

Our high school students are excitedly looking forward to summer. Many are hoping to use the break in the school year to gain some hands-on experience in their career fields of interest. I have worked with them to find some opportunities around Kansas City but would love to explore even more opportunities. Does your place of business currently have paid or unpaid internships or shadow opportunities for high school students? If not, would you be willing to work with me to set something up? Our students are interested in a variety of fields including engineering, medicine, veterinary science, public service, culinary arts, construction technology, automotive technology, cosmetology, architecture, business, fine arts, journalism, music, marketing, film and education. Please reach out to me if you have any ideas or would like to work with me to explore developing an opportunity for our students.
