These Teens Mean Busine$$ Summer Internship – Summer 2022
Meet our past interns
Different from a normal internship, I knew participating through this program would ensure I receive lots of support and access to opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise. This summer, I hope to expand my understanding of how businesses function. In particular, I hope to understand how food is consumed and wasted and how it can best be used to give back to the community.
