Say hello to our interns! In our Level Up program, we offer paid internships to our high school students so they can see what opportunities are available to them post-graduation. These internships not only offer valuable hands-on experience, mentorship, and exposure to various career pathways, but also help students build essential skills and confidence for their personal and professional growth. ??

This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, the Mission Society is proud to honor and celebrate Indigenous communities across the country. With over 500 tribal nations, each with its own rich heritage, language, and traditions, Native Americans have been shaping the land and its history for thousands of years. Today, this deep connection to heritage remains a powerful source of strength and inspiration for leaders and changemakers in STEAM.
