Welcome, 2026 Summer Trust Interns! Today marks the first in‑office day for our Summer Youth Internship Program (SYIP) interns and we couldn’t be more excited! The Children’s Trust has been a longtime supporter of SYIP, and each year we proudly welcome interns into our offices to gain real‑world work experience, learn about the vital work we do, and help us carry out our mission to serve children and families across Miami‑Dade.
We’re thrilled to open our doors to a new group of bright, motivated young people ready to grow, contribute, and make an impact. Here’s to a summer filled with learning, leadership, and meaningful experiences! 🤝🙌

Board members, joined by members of our staff, recently toured the Linda Ray Intervention Center at UM to see our investments in action. We are proud to support the center’s evidence-based parenting programs, which equip Miami-Dade families with vital tools to promote early childhood development. During the summer, the center is also leading its Early Intervention (EEI) Summer Program, supporting children from birth to three with developmental disabilities during these critical early years. Together, we are helping ensure our youngest learners have a strong foundation to thrive.
