We are so excited to see what 2019 will bring...
Thank you for all your support over this past year! In 2018, we were able to more than double our summer program, expand our services to new communities, and partner with 13 new employers. We cannot wait to see what 2019 will bring for BroadFutures as we work together to inspire inclusion and expand the workforce!

Intern Spotlight- Stephen Anderson

Stephen Anderson first joined BroadFutures as an intern in Winter 2018, and he is joining us again this winter as an alumni intern! He graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Architecture. Having decided to pursue a career outside of his major, Stephen began looking to gain new experiences in the professional world to explore his interests and expand upon his skills. His internship last winter was in the office of Congressman John Delaney of Maryland, where he answered calls from and created case files for constituents, provided administrative support, and had a large role in collecting and organizing submissions in a county-wide school art competition. Stephen enjoyed his internship over the winter so much that he continued to work there through this past summer. His new internship this winter is with Enterprise Holdings, Inc. where he is in the management training track.  

Stephen had these thoughts to share about his past year: "I'm really thankful that BroadFutures has been able to support me in my continued growth and give me the tools I need to realize success during and after the program. I want to thank Enterprise for being an employer partner and working with me to ensure my continued success."

Thanks Stephen, and good luck at your internship!
