The Brand Advocates SUMMER Academy 

As part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Summer Youth Internship Program, we host high school interns each summer. Sponsored by Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the Foundation for New Education Initiatives and The Children’s Trust, the program provides high schools with hands-on internship opportunities to enhance their skills in communications, PR and outreach. During the five-week paid internship students accumulate 150 hours of experience.  The Brand Advocates coordinates weekly outings for the interns that allow them to get exposure to opportunities in the communications field including a lunch session with a local news reporter, a tour of a major transportation project and a behind-the-scenes look at how a local newscast is produced. Each intern receives a new laptop, a backpack and other back-to-school gear as part of the internship.
