-Nadia Adams
“Because of The Village, I landed an externship with Beats by Dre, an internship at the Recording Academy (Grammys), and my current role as a Digital Marketing Intern at Universal Music Group. I was also awarded a scholarship through The Village that helped me cover graduate school expenses! On top of the professional wins, I walked away with lifelong mentors and mentee friendships that still pour into me to this day. The Village helped me level up in every way!”
-Kevin Cabrera
“The village helped me gain connections, ask better questions, and think outside the box. Our cohort not only went through professional help but an all-around experience. Learning how to navigate different experiences and get to the personal goals we had in life. Rashad helped me understand my value and to not take no for an answer… with his help and my determination I was able to get 3 internship offers, PWC for cloud consulting, J.P Morgan for their career analyst development program, and Amazon as a fi nancial analyst intern which is where I’ll be working full-time now. I can’t thank Rashad enough and I’m glad to not only call him my mentor but my friends as well.”
-Hope Habia
“The Village served as the reliable foundation upon which I could confi dently start my professional journey. Through its robust network, informative panels, and stellar mentorship, I gained clarity as to how I might navigate career opportunities as a young Black man. The mentorship I gained from this experience helped me gain an externship with Snap Inc., a contracting gig with a communications company, and a summer internship after my Freshman year.”
-Caleb Calderon
“My cohort experience was really motivating and made the process feel less overwhelming because I was surrounded by people who were working toward similar goals. The Village helped me stay focused, build confi dence, and sharpen both my technical and interview skills through mentorship and consistent support. Because of that preparation and guidance, I was able to secure a Software Engineering Internship at Meta.”
- Arnold Hinestroza
“I appreciate The Village’s willingness to connect a set of diverse and determined talent together to learn from each other and provide genuine support toward our goals. Not only did the Group Mentorship Program provide us a mentor, but it provided us a platform to give back and help other mentees, after achieving our goals.”
- Ashley Choi
“The Village is great for connection and has a family-like community aimed to help junior professionals navigate their careers. I highly suggest those that have interests in Marketing, Technology, Social Media, and various functions, to submit an application to the program and receive tailored career guidance.”
- Nia Robinson
“Being a part of The Village helped me to sharpen my interview skills and confidence in myself as I sought out new opportunities. Being poured into by my mentor and other professionals within the program helped me to believe that moving forward in my career was possible. I landed a position at Disney/ESPN.”

“My cohort experience with The Village Mentorship Program was transformative and filled with a deep sense of community. Being surrounded by a group of goal-oriented and focused peers motivated me to strive for excellence and stay on track with my goals. The Village created a space where I felt supported and inspired to be the best version of myself.”
- Mackenzie Carter
“My experience in The Village is empowering. It’s amazing to see all of the mentors come together to create a tight knit family dedicated to creating opportunity. My goals were to advance my career and broaden my network and I achieved these goals. I will be a Boeing intern this summer.”
- Deja Dade
“My experience in the Village was truly one of a kind.
My sophomore year of college, I was determined to define my skills and acquire more as I determined what path I wanted to go down. One of the first goals I set was to work at Google and/or get accepted in their BOLD Immersion program. I ended up achieving both along with an internship. Now as I wrap up my senior year, I look forward to starting later this fall.”
- Miledy Del Villar
“My experience in The Village was full of continuous support, enriching opportunities, and meaningful connections. My goal was to acquire a full time offer within finance. As a marketing major, this was no small task. However, it truly takes a village and thanks to this one, I was able to secure my full time offer with Bloomberg LP.”
- Julia Myers
“I was in the middle of my application (at Google) during my village cohort. 1 on 1's with my mentor helped a lot and they helped prepare for my interviews. The meetings helped me figure out how to brand/present myself throughout an application and I met some great people in my group as well.”
-Maria Summers
“The Village has shown the power of how a network can not only open doors, but inspire you to think bigger when mapping out your career. Through featured speakers, mentors, and fellow mentees, I’ve been able to connect and land opportunities at the leading talent agency, CAA!”
