Huge thanks to MJHS for hosting 10 of Commonpoint’s Ladders for Leaders interns this summer at the MJHS Academy!

Our students raved about the phenomenal programming, meaningful projects, and dedicated mentorship they experienced.

This summer, Michael interned in the Appeals & Grievances department at MJHS, calling it a pivotal stepping stone toward his passion for fraud investigations and criminal justice reform.

🙏 Thank you for investing in future leaders and helping them grow into the professionals they aspire to be.

Another amazing site visit—this time with the ASPCA, who graciously hosted over six interns this summer! 🐾💼

We met students pursuing careers in HR, Computer Engineering, Veterinary Studies, Finance, and Community Medicine—each one matched to a role that aligned perfectly with their academic journey. 🎓✨

Over lunch, we heard inspiring reflections from the interns and toured the ASPCA’s incredible 92nd Street facility.

The animals—and the students—completely melted our hearts. 🐶🐱💛
