“Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
― Howard Thurman

About The Next Move Program

The Next Move Program believes that all students should have the opportunity to make informed choices about their future.  We also believe that personal experiences, such as internships in a chosen career field and a meaningful relationship with a career mentor, can have a lasting impact on a student’s personal and professional journey.

Juniors in Tacoma Public Schools are invited to join the Next Move Internship Program. Students begin by participating in Intro to Internship, a preparatory course where they explore career pathways, write resumes and cover letters, and practice their interviewing, networking, and professional communication skills. After completing Intro to Internship, students are invited to participate in a 90-hour, unpaid internship experience in the community, where they can continue to build their skills and explore their interests. Students typically intern 4-8 hours per week at their site and are supported throughout the entire experience by their Intern host and Next Move Coach.
