What do the Interns gain?
Leadership Skills
How can you lead without knowing who you are? Students will gain self-awareness and learn how to tell a descriptive story—especially their own!
Confidence
Improv has been called “the key to success” for future leaders. The core principle of “Yes, and…” is universally agreed the #1 skill to survive in the 21st century.
Crucial Collaborative Experiences
Students bond with others who have experienced barriers/oppression very different than their own and learn techniques that foster trust upon which every great relationship is built.
Healing
Listening is one of the key principles of improv, and nothing in the world feels better than being heard! Not only will the interns feel energized after the opportunity to tell their story, but they will have inspired empathy from their audiences.
