Hi, I am trying to raise the money to send my 16 year old son, a sophomore in high school, to the 2026 Leadership Initiatives’ Summer Internship Program in Washington DC the week of July 19th through July 25th, 2026. This is an AMAZING opportunity for him and I am praying that money does not get in the way of his future! Robert is an amazing kid that is doing SO good in school, he wants to be either in The FBI or the CIA. He plays in marching band, he always gets good grades, he’s funny & sociable, witty and kind. He just started working his first part time job, is saving for a car and I couldn’t be more proud of him. I am currently in school so I can give us both a better future and his Granny is raising him. This kid deserves every chance and opportunity that he can get. He is SO loved!! He also has two little cousins that he calls his little brothers that just adore him and look up to him. PLEASE help us get him to DC this summer!

The Leadership Initiatives’ is a 501 (c) non-profit organization that partners with outstanding high school students to provide them with hands-on experience that builds their ability to collaborate, communicate, and confidently pursue their futures! Unlike other programs where simulations are the key component, these students intern with real law firms, business development organizations, security agencies and hospitals to build their resume and their knowledge. This real world experience cannot be duplicated with simulations or classroom experience.

They have unparalleled mentorship opportunities with leaders from Amazon, Harvard, The DC Justice Lab, The FBI, The US Pentagon, The National Institute of Health, Homeland Security and The World Bank.
