CollegeBound Foundation

2026 College Partner of the Year! 🥳

Today, we celebrated our incredible 2026 Internship Cohort at our Internship Closeout Celebration! 🎉

Throughout the summer, our interns gained hands-on experience, built professional skills, and made meaningful contributions at their internship sites. During today’s celebration, they shared presentations highlighting their projects, reflected on their growth, and connected with fellow interns and site supervisors.

Congratulations to our 2026 Internship Cohort! We’re proud of all you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see where your hard work and talent take you next.

“One of the opportunities Mrs. Green helped me to pursue was Law Links, where I met another mentor and sponsor, Ms. Alicia Wilson. Ms. Alicia made possible the internship which ultimately confirmed my desire to pursue a career in medicine.

One of the most meaningful moments of my life was when Ms. Green walked over from the “Legacy” line on the stage to hand me my diploma at graduation. That moment represented not only the lasting impact of CollegeBound’s commitment, but also the power of having someone believe in you so deeply that it changes the trajectory of your life.” - our 2026 Distinguished Alumna, Shea Player
