Hi there!
The world is changing, and we need to make sure our community is prepared for what's ahead.
That's why I perused the internet for summer programs and scholarships you can apply for right now.
Chicago Southsider is investing back into our community by providing access to skills, resources, and opportunities that will lead to income and impact.
After receiving so many questions about landing profitable internships at 19, traveling around the world for free in college, and garnering over $100,000 from scholarships, I wrote a book about it.
Dive into my book, Debt Free Before Graduation, to get your roadmap to more success and less debt.
