Yleana Leadership Foundation: Student Advocacy Program
Non-profit | Spring | Unpaid | Remote | Part-time
The Yleana Leadership Foundation, a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit organization based in New York, seeks motivated college students for its Yleana Student Advocacy Program during the upcoming Spring 2021 semester. The Yleana Leadership Foundation creates exceptional educational experiences for young people of all income levels: preparing our students for success as people and professionals while decreasing the achievement gap.
About Yleana Leadership Foundation:
- Yleana Leadership Foundation is committed to closing the achievement gap for underrepresented students from underserved communities.
- We have served over 1,000 underrepresented students since 2013.
- Our college access programs focus on academic and professional mentoring, elite test preparation, entrepreneurship training, college application advising and mentoring, distance learning, and the Yleana Leadership Academy: a free 3 week-long immersion program during the summer held directly on college campuses.
- All of our programs are completely free for our students and employ culturally competent messaging that is both motivational and trauma-informed.
There are 6 available divisions of the Yleana Student Advocacy Program to join. These internships are remote, unpaid, and have the option to extend (many of our interns choose to stay on for several semesters.) Interns have a high level of freedom and flexibility, so we’re always looking for self-starters who can function well with minimal supervision. This is an excellent program for students looking to gain real experience in various job functions while serving an amazing mission.
