“What started as a mere opportunity to give back to kids and a community has turned into several open doors. From my initial encounter with Sabrina Jackson and George Moore with the parent mentor program this has been an awesome opportunity. It is comparable to finding a million dollars returning it and being given it back. My small gesture of spending a few hours helping our children and educators has resulted in employment and a scholarship, The encouragement to complete the paraprofessional program offered through Teamwork Englewood has opened the door for my new position with Distinctive Schools. Let me mention I paid zero for the training. The free tutoring along the way and encouragement made me want to succeed. That isn’t all with the continued support and check ins from Chazz Johnson I am encouraged to continue to go further and do more. She has been such an encourager and available to me on this journey. Providing so much information. Her consistency is contagious. As a result of her encouragement I applied and was accepted to receive the Grow Your Own Teacher Scholarship. Thanks Teamwork Englewood you are truly changing lives.”

““I would just like to start off by giving a big thank you to Avanii Hazzard for introducing me to this opportunity.
Interning with PepsiCo has been a time to remember. I created new bonds and did a lot of networking. I learned countless amount of things about Pepsi that I never knew.
The company is very diverse and understanding. The building I worked in was beautiful.
I learned many things within the sales and marketing department.
I got to meet the people who works within the Gatorade & Frito Lay, Cheetos, and Mac & Cheese departments. I also met with many others too.
The managers and mentors made sure we had one of the best experiences. I would like to thank them for that.
I would recommend this internship to many others."”

“"Throughout my six weeks of this internship, I have absolutely enjoyed my time.
We learned about various brands Pepsi company paired with such as Quaker’s, Dole, in the
past Tropicana, and many more.
I absolutely love the old post office building. On the 3rd floor which Pepsi has owned, had lots of thoughts toward it being build.
I enjoyed my time getting a better bond with my mentor and manager and other interns. They served free Starbucks drink because they are also partnered with them, as well as free oatmeal for breakfast.
We visited the manufacturer plant for the Rice-A-Roni, Past-A-Roni, Cheetos Mac n Cheese, Near East Rice, Ben’s Original rice, and Seeds of Change rice products.
I learned quite a few things such as Pepsi’s pasta and rice side of the company is over a $500 million business involving the brands listed above.
I am greatly thankful for being able to be a part of this internship this summer!”

“"My time here at PepsiCo has been great!
I’ve learned so much about marketing, fieldwork, and more about the things I knew already. I’m certain that learning these skills will help me with future opportunities.
With all the experiences I’ve had, I hope someone else will experience the same thing I did as well."”
