It is that time of the year when MyLLife Staffs and Volunteers are excited to share with you our on-going 2024 program and several other programs that are in the planning for 2025 and beyond. We are devoting this editorial to provide a quick summary of our current programs. If you wish to support any of these programs, you can donate here.
MyLLife Scholars Program (MLSP) – our flagship program is in its third year (since 2022) where we encourage college students to explore careers in public services by taking on a full-time summer internship at Federal, State and local level with government agencies and non-profit organizations. This summer we had funded 8 such Scholars – you can see their profiles here. If you click on the picture, you will also hear a short video in their own voice about their summer experiences. Our scholarship ranges from $1,500 - $4,000 for the summer. Pls consider sponsoring one or more students this upcoming summer of 2025. Our budget for 2025 is $60,000 and will support 20 such Scholars during summer of 2025.
Economic and Social Justice Program (ESJP) – this program was launched in 2023 to engage graduate and undergraduate students in meaningful research of immediate economic and social impacts. We focus on assessing how large public companies are contributing to (or hindering) economic and social equity, employee wellbeing and health of the planet. These Research Interns are full time graduate students in various disciplines such as business, law, economics, public policy, social science with a passion for economic and social justice. They spend 10 hours/week and work as a team with other graduate interns, community fellows and MyLLife Interns. The stipend for a graduate intern for the year is $10,000. Pls consider sponsoring one or more such interns for 2025. Our goal is to staff this program with 5 such interns year-around at a cost of $50,000 per year. Some of the articles written by our research interns can be accessed here.
MyLLife Internship Program (MLIP) – We offer part-time internships to college students and young professionals to support our internal admin and social media activities, website content update and maintenance. Our budget for this is $20,000 for 2025 We welcome your donations and sponsorship for these programs.
