It was a pleasure serving as a host site for the Enon Summer Internship Program!

The TBC team admires the amount of leadership training that was poured into the youth before and during the internship.

It was also our pleasure teaching them office skills, introducing them to key professionals for career development, and financial literacy skills that they can apply in the years to come.

Special thanks to Rev Dr Alyn E Waller, Senior Pastor and the entire Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church team for this partnership. Shoutout to our incredible interns, Cydney and Paris — we’re proud of you both
