“If it adds value for the youth, Michelle has been a huge supporter consistently and effectively! Michele has served youth participants in the St. Louis Internship Program (SLIP) for more than a decade in a multiplicity of capacities. She’s very intentional about diverse exposure opportunities and the intentional creation of opportunities where none may have existed. Michelle personally coordinates events that has helped my students with their career and personal goals. She shared her time and talents on many occasions to uplift, inspire and educate their young minds. Michelle has been in excellent resource for my students and I and we value her support. As a small nonprofit, we could not positively impact our participants without community supporters like Michelle. She has owned her coordination of an annual career and personal development session for our high school students; thereby, positively impacting our community. These hundreds of youth are more equipped with life skills and career/personal development, so we are eternally for Michelle’s fervent dedication and unwavering support.”
