why intern?
dis/connect interns become community tech leaders as they direct workshops, model digital wellness, and support others on their tech journeys. dis/connect interns build leadership skills, empathy, communication skills, accountability, and independence, all of which contribute to academic and professional success.
after a full year of training, interns become dis/connect ambassadors, able to lead not just peers, but also younger and older audiences. ambassadors utilize their influence to help others across their families, schools, local organizations, and communities gain awareness, develop better tech habits, and make the tech choices that serve them best.
