What a privilege it has been to be trusted with the hopes and dreams of five Chicago youth this summer.
Last week, we hosted our Treazure Marketing Summer Internship End of Program Presentation and Networking Event, where our four graduating interns shared the work they accomplished this summer, whether that meant serving a Case Study client, building their own business, or both.
Thank you to every guest who showed up to give feedback and guidance as these young people venture into their careers. Thank you to our partner, Ladies of Virtue (). Thank you to our worksite and Case Study Client of three years, Strugglebeard Bakery. Thank you to our Program Facilitator, Isaiah Edwards. Thank you to our very first intern, Olivia Obikili. Thank you to our new Case Study Clients, Attack the Sound and others. And thank you to the active parents and everyone who supported these journeys.
This was our 2nd Annual Summer Internship. Growing from one intern and zero curriculum structure, just straight hands-on, to five interns, a Program Facilitator outside of Treazure Owens herself, a fully executed curriculum with daily Program Facilitator Guides and Intern Cheat Sheets, an End of Program Presentation Event, one to three Case Study Client options, four tracks (PR, Events Management, Social Media Management, Business Development), and an alumni program for monthly networking and continuing education was tough but necessary. The value add was well worth the investment.
Twenty hours a week for six weeks, not counting sick days, among other various pivots, our interns launched email marketing campaigns, managed social media accounts, found RFPs, built slide decks, leveraged AI, and more.
We hope our new Alumni keep building on the infrastructure they set, and rejoin us soon. 🙏🏾 Great job team!
