JA Interns Connect

Join JA Interns Connect, a global virtual experience designed to bring together interns currently working at JA locations around the world. The series offers five interactive virtual sessions that give JA interns the chance to connect across cultures, exchange ideas, grow their professional networks, and gain new perspectives beyond their day-to-day internship experience. More than an added learning opportunity, JA Interns Connect helps interns become part of a broader global community of young people shaping the future through JA.
