CBOB is so excited to welcome our new and returning interns to our team this Spring! As we celebrate our sixteenth year of service, we are thrilled to have our interns join us.  We hope our interns uphold our mission through volunteer work. To become apart of our VIP program within CBOB, potential interns have to take part in a lengthy selection process spearheaded by our leadership team! Our leadership team looks for the best candidates to continue to uphold our organization's mission and values. After applying, applicants went through two rounds of interviews and were also asked to perform a task specific to their respective position. Throughout this process, CBOB was able to get a gauge on how applicants would work if selected to be apart of our program! Only those applicants who demonstrated work ethic, passion for our mission and eagerness to learn more about our program and giving back were selected to join our team. Our interns within our program hold various interests ranging from non-profit work to digital design to biology and more which helps us keep diversity within CBOB and allow us to view the future of our organization through different perspectives.
