Camp ADventure
Situation:
During the summer of 2020, students and recent graduates were getting their internships and job offers rescinded due to COVID-19. The graduating class of 2020 was about to enter the industry, and for some, the first opportunity to start their professional career was taken away.
Solution:
We partnered with the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) to create an 8-week virtual “summer camp” that provided real-world experience working for live clients.
Campers were able to compete in a pitch competition, as well as work on passion projects, and attend workshops and a speaker series hosted by executive-level industry leaders.
Results:
200 “Campers” from 64 universities came together
4 Live Clients (ICMEC, Buy From A Black Woman, Black Woman Owned, and The James Madison Foundation)
130+ professional mentors
1/3 of our campers were able to land full-time jobs post Camp
