Sammi Lawrence, Staff Attorney at the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), will participate in an upcoming career panel hosted by Common Wealth Development as part of the Wanda Fullmore Youth Internship Program. The panel is designed to introduce local high school interns to a diverse range of professional career paths and insights from Madison-area professionals.
The Wanda Fullmore Youth Internship Program is a competitive summer initiative that provides more than 25 Madison youth—primarily from BIPOC communities—with hands-on work experience, mentorship, and skill development. One of the program’s cornerstone events is its annual career panel, which offers interns an opportunity to engage directly with professionals from various industries.
While the event is free to attend, it is not open to the public. For more information about the program or how to get involved, click here.
