A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Raising the tide, not of any singular person, but of all, is a Rabble Mill core value. Rabble Mill’s workforce development program, Gap Year, is ushering in a new age of raising the tide. This program supports young adults aged 18-24 exploring their niche in the world. Kate felt drawn to Gap Year’s Fashion and Project Management Certification Pathways, two of several opportunities offered through the program. It was here where Kate not only landed an internship at a local media agency, but then developed it into a dream job where she now manages two interns herself in addition to its internship program. Her sense of belonging to the program and the surrounding community has meant that she is now actively involved in further supporting the program post-graduation by serving as an intern for Rabble Mill’s Art and Thrift initiative, which includes a fashion club for high school students. This is a prime example of a program participant coming full circle, where they’ve not only explored their passion, but found their career, and are now helping other young adults find theirs. This is only one of countless stories of young adults finding their place in society through Rabble Mill’s Gap Year Program.
