Our interns interact with a variety of partners, collaborators and constituents and stakeholders through out the course of our work exposing them to opportunities for leadership, personal and professional development.

The office strives to provide opportunities for the Native community to engage with contemporary issues and figures that affect and influence Native peoples, and interns are engaged in the process of recognizing multiple experiences, needs and perspectives that exist within our communities as we work to empower our community.
- Community: Working to strengthen and support the many members of the Native community, the internships encourage students to understand the layers of connections that exist within a community and cultivate an appreciation and understanding of growing healthy and supportive communities.
