Skip Prosser READ Challenge ambassadors are invited to apply for a semester-long internship with the Skip Prosser Literacy Program. Interns work as a team to help coordinate, elevate, and grow the program while exploring their own individual interests such as marketing, school and library collaborations, community partnerships, and language translations. Interns are empowered to grow as student leaders and engage in meaningful community-based service. Below are our interns for the 2022-2023 school year. A call for applications will go out to the previous year’s ambassadors each spring semester.
