This session at Baltimore Youth Arts, former apprentices were given the opportunity to become interns. Interns assisted with program management projects from product development to creating illustrations for BYA’s annual report to managing social media.
Kya is our business intern. She has been with us for almost 1 year. Kya joined business to see the merchants point of view and behind the scenes work. Kya has been helping place designs on products, and tracking prices. Kya also learned how to make ads. “I like the program because of the interesting activities.”
Cheyenne is our business intern. Cheyenne has been with us for two sessions. She joined because she longs to be an entrepreneur. Cheyenne has been helping create ads, and putting designs on products. She learned how to convert files and how people make their products and profit. “I’ve learned more from BYA than in school and found a community that I truly feel safe in.”
Briana is our graphic design intern. She has been with BYA for almost 2 years. She chose graphic design because digital art is her favorite art subject. Briana has been making art for a presentation and designing a booklet.
Ezra has been working with BYA since February 2019 and is our social media and marketing intern. Ezra says, “I am learning a lot through this internship about what I want to do in the future.” Ezra hopes to be a marketing manager and is excited to be gaining experience. Currently, Ezra is creating ads, scheduling social media posts, and writing blogs.
