It All Starts with an Opportunity
The EXP Internship Program: Powered by Prologis is a high-impact journey for 11th-grade students enrolled in underserved high schools in communities of Southern California. This program brings together employers, educators, and parents to prepare high school students for tomorrow's workplace through career readiness workshops and hands-on internship experiences.
Not only do internship host sites invest in their local community and make a difference in their interns' lives, but they also expand their future hiring pools, boost company morale, and raise awareness of their organization and industry.
In the summer of 2023, we placed 78 students in hybrid and in-person internship experiences with corporate and community organizations across various industries.
For more information, please contact Alesha Walker, Program Manager, Internship & Outreach, at alesha@expfuture.org.
