Interning with BOOST Collaborative has been an unforgettable experience. I learned so much these past few months, and I will take my newfound knowledge and appreciation for quality out-of-school time programs to pursue a career in teaching. The BOOST team is very supportive and has treated me like part of the family, which has made my time here that more special. Not only did I learn about the importance of out-of-school time programs, but I also gained a lot of confidence in myself, and I will take that confidence with me through life.

To me, working at BOOST was much more than just an opportunity to learn or gain some work experience. First and foremost, BOOST is a company with a purpose-driven goal, and a very noble one at that. Education is the foundation for a better society, and BOOST recognizes that. So when I'd come into the office early in the morning, I knew I'd be working not only to better myself, but also for the benefit of so many others.

BOOST is also very flexible and is willing to work with you to best accommodate you, which is truly a blessing.
