KEEP STUDENTS OUT OF THE SERVICE INDUSTRY & CREATE A STRONGER BROWNSVILLE WORKFORCE
When students are off from college for the summer, they often need to work. Our Internship Program connects college students and college graduates with businesses and professionals in their field. Students will gain relevant work experience to kick off their careers, while local businesses have the chance to grow and discover talent right in their backyard. Choose the position(s) that work for you:

"GRMS has opened the door to a handful of opportunities and resources that range from SAT prep to internships. Because Guadalupe creates community connections, I have been able to intern at the Moody Clinic and The UT School of Public Health, opportunities that have helped solidify my path to becoming a speech pathologist."
Ivette Villarreal '11
