DREAM Internship

About DREAM

DREAM is the City of Jackson’s internship program where our mission is to provide professional development to scholars who are pursuing academics or foresee a career in communications, governance, or as a sole proprietor. 

DREAM encourages critical thinking, sound reasoning, and the formation of new ideas in the pursuit and acquisition of knowledge and proficiency.

DREAM supports learning and developmental experiences to leverage academic tutelage in professional environments. We intend to transition scholars from study to practical application.
