Summer Internship Alumni

The National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Association (NMSHSA) is offering this wonderful internship opportunity since 2012. Many young professionals from the farm worker community that started their early childhood education in Migrant and Seasonal Head Start classrooms across the U.S. have came to Washington DC. They accepted the opportunity and challenge to enjoy several weeks of real world experience in professional job settings, as well as obtaining new networking opportunities.

NMSHSA wants to remember them through these pages. Select below the name of each former intern to learn more about the internship alumni.

Alumni - Class of 2023

Otero College Child Development Services
Hometown: Center, Colorado
School: Adams State University
Major: Sociology with a Focus on Social Work

"This internship helped me grow as a professional, and as a person. It helped me learn from different perspectives and expand my knowledge on many things like policy work, bills trying to get passed on child labor, and social issues that I was unaware of before I came on this internship. I came home wanting to double major, and become the best version of myself, whether that be in or out of school. I feel like I am able to conquer the world and can always learn  ore from people’s experiences. I would recommend this internship to students, adding one piece of advice: go out and be great."

UMOS
Hometown: Pharr, Texas
School: Texas State University
Major: Public Administration and Latino Studies

"As I leave and blossom into a NMSHSA alum, I still cannot find the words to express my gratitude towards this internship program and the people that made it possible. I came into this internship with one main goal: to build confidence. I have gained that and more. The knowledge and experience I have received will benefit my new goal in building an MSHS community at my university, and to spread this internship to others. I see the world in such a new, beautiful light thanks to this experience. To all and every Latino student: You can do it. You belong here, and you have so much to give to the world!"
