“Our Intern Summit was built around one simple idea: the industry is stronger when more young people can see themselves in it,” said Samara Berger, Executive Director at Situation Project “It’s an honor to see the work recognized, but even more meaningful to see students feel a sense of belonging, possibility, and community. That’s what this is really about.”
