Designing our Growth Strategy
Program Synopsis
The Gem Project is dedicated to helping high school students graduate on-time. Their model is to enforce leadership and community service through a service-based fellowship between high school and college matriculated students. Their fellowship has traditionally been very hands-on, including peer mentoring, life-skill workshops, and service-learning initiatives, with a social justice approach. As a result of COVID, The Gem Project is looking for guidance as they build out and go-to-market with a fully virtual version of their program.
The Gem Project is looking for three (3) graduate marketing and business students interested in this fully virtual paid internship project, which will run 12-weeks from October through December.
Intern Compensation:
$500 per intern upon completion of the entire project
