Empowering Journeys: A Story of Growth at Consejo
At Consejo, we are grateful and proud to be part of your internship journey.
Join us and embark on your own path of growth and professional development!
As I near the completion of my internship hours, I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for allowing me to participate in the group sessions. Finding group coordinators who are responsive and welcoming is often a challenge, but your dedication made a significant difference for me. The hours spent in these groups not only helped me achieve my goals but also offered invaluable insights.
The community you’ve helped create is remarkable—from the diversity in ages to the engaging activities each week. I’ve learned so much, especially about the pride in Latinx culture and the profound knowledge many hold about American history. Your extra effort is deeply appreciated, and it has truly been a transformative experience for me.
