Hello generous BEAM Supporters!
Thank you for your continued interest in supporting youth, community service, and education with BEAM's Community Service Internship Program!
After a competative application process, BEAM selected 4 university students into the CSIP program for the first semester 2018-19 academic year. While it was difficult to turn away some impressive applicants, we are excited to work with our new group of highly motivated students who are passionate in furthering their own education while also helping in their communities. Every penny of your donations through GlobalGiving goes to scholarships for these deserving students.
Here are this semster's CSIP Scholarship Recipients:

I am sure that this internship will broaden my social skills, build team work, and improve my self-development in many other ways as well.”

From all of us at BEAM, thank you for your continued support! We are so proud of the work our students have accomplished and look forward to sharing their continued growth with you.
