TBF Sport Careers and Summer GLAM
Internships Prepare Youth for the Future
Sports Careers and Summer GLAM are internships that offer interactive sessions and field trips for 50 interns. Participants are assigned to TBF after being hired by MPLOY, Memphis’ summer youth employment program. (For details about MPLOY, please visit http://www.cityofmemphisyouth.org/index.html ).Young men in the Sports Careers internship program take part in sessions and field trips focused on increasing awareness about sports industry professions.
Summer GLAM gets young ladies well informed. They take part in activities that prepare them to make smart life decisions. Sessions that prepare them to responsibly handle personal finances, cultivate good relationships, make wise physical and emotional health choices, and preparing for a successful career are just some of the concepts covered.
Both programs encourage character development. Each prepares interns to profoundly impact the future.
A DIVERSE GROUP OF SESSION LEADERS, STAFF, AND VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTE TO MAKING OUR INTERNSHIPS AN ENLIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. CONTACT TBF IF YOU HAVE A LIFE SESSION IDEA FOR US TO CONSIDER.
