SUMMER INTERNSHIP
PROGRAM
Each year, Runway of Dreams hosts a virtual 8-week volunteer-based summer internship program (mid-June through early August). Interns hone valuable leadership, communication, and business skills while managing a project or event from concept to completion. Each week, they have the opportunity to learn from expert guest speakers. Typically, interns spend 15+ hours a week, working collaboratively and independently through the guidance and support of Runway’s leadership.

LEADERSHIP, COMMUNICATION
AND BUSINESS SKILLS

-
building the model for our high school and college club programs;

The purpose of the panel discussion was to inspire and empower students studying fashion, rising design innovators, entrepreneurs and anyone in the industry interested in learning about the need for adaptive clothing and power of fashion inclusivity. Also, the interns created a how-to resource guide for Runway of Dreams’ College Clubs to replicate nationwide.
