INTERNS

Each year, WISE hires two-three of its recent secondary school graduates to serve as interns during their pre-college gap year. During this period, they perform a variety of tasks, everything from operating the corn meal hammermill to interviewing prospective scholarship students. Even after heading off to college, many of these interns stay involved with WISE, volunteering during school breaks.
