The Youth Internship Program is a leadership development program for middle and high school students in Winona County. A handful of students are selected each Fall to be Youth Interns for an academic year. It is an excellent way for students to gain volunteer and leadership experience AND make a real impact in their community!
The program provides Youth Interns with training and opportunities to lead their own service projects and events. It was created so students can take the lead but still receive guidance from community leaders.
The Youth Internship Program provides students with service hours and experiences for college applications or resumes. Youth Interns lead and participate in the following activities:
-Outreach & advocacy
-Campaign development
-Community service projects
-Leadership skills development
