Invest in the Future - Sponsor a Student Today
Each $5,000 sponsorship transforms the life of a first-generation, college-bound youth by providing them with over 20 hours of engaging seminars centered on professionalism, college preparation, and civic engagement. This enriching program culminates in a valuable paid internship from June 30 to July 24, which can take place at your company or a partnering non-profit organization.
Your sponsorship covers the student’s wages, insurance, workers’ compensation, and transportation stipends for seminars and supports the program's overall management, materials, and staffing costs.
It’s a simple way to offer a unique and impactful opportunity that makes a difference in a young person's life through EHI. The dedicated Teach Democracy staff ensures a seamless experience by:
- Recruiting motivated candidates
- Collecting and reviewing applications
- Conducting initial interviews to screen candidates
- Organizing second-round interviews at hosting sites
- Preparing students for their upcoming internships
- Handling necessary paperwork (W-4 form, I-9 form, student work permit, etc.)
- Collecting timesheets and managing payroll (as Teach Democracy employs the interns)
Join us in making a difference—your support is invaluable!
