Thank you for supporting the Foot in the Door program through Starfish! With your support, we developed a successful mentoring program that supports students in our Puente (Bridge) program and high school graduates who are in our Nuevos Horizontes (New Horizons) program. Over the past year we were able to fund 85 paid internships for high school students in the Bridge program, which provided valuable work experience to each participant for an average of two months. We were also able to provide 42 paid internships to our high school graduates. Through partnerships with organizations like Mercado Global and LIFE School, participants received valuable work experience while earning a monthly income that they can use to support their families. These six-month internships allow our students to practice important skills like time management, organization, writing, communication, and professionalism in order to ensure that they are employable in the future!
