About the Internship & Mentorship Program:

COLLINS High School Internship and Mentorship Program is an outreach initiative the company began in 2015 to educate, mentor and inspire creatively-inclined high school students in underrepresented communities, to explore and consider careers within the world of design.

From hands-on client experience, learning the tools of the trade, and help with scholarships, we're honored to be able to invest in, and nurture, the next generation of designers and creative leaders.
