Animas High School's LINK (Leading Internships for New Knowledge) internship program gives juniors a chance to see what life outside of the school day is really like. In the first semester, juniors take time to work on professional work skills like building resume/cover letters and how to effectively interview for a job. Also during this time, students contacted potential mentors for the three week internships. Once these are confirmed, students are mentored in a career or profession that is interesting to them for those three weeks in April/May. While learning about the work done by the business, students create a LINK project.

WeFill is a local refilling station that promotes reusing and refilling plastic containers in our community! Their mission is to reduce single-use plastic consumption by providing a place for people to come refill their products in cleaning, bath and body, and plastic alternatives. They do not do any online sales as well to cut down on transportation emissions.
I chose this internship because I wanted to make a difference in my community and environmental issues are something I have been passionate about for a while now. Supporting this business was just a great choice for my internship! |
Come fill up your plastic containers and save the world!
