E-News ~ August 2021
This summer, Opportunity Santa Fe (OSF) launched its Pilot Summer Internship Program to great success!

Seven interns (ages 16 to 18 years old) participated in the program, which included completing a computer literacy course at the Santa Fe Community College to gain new computer skills and gaining hands-on work experience with OSF collaborative working groups by developing and implementing self-directed projects.
