Pharrell Williams granted the entire graduating class of Harlem Children's Zone Promise Academy a guaranteed internship.
The graduating class of Harlem Children’s Zone Promise Academies 1 and II got more than just a degree and an inspirational speech from its commencement speaker this year, Pharrell Williams.
The Promise Academy’s administration partnered with the producer to create an internship program that would give these students the connections necessary to succeed within their respective fields, according to CEO Anne Williams-Isom. “When he guaranteed my entire class with an internship, I knew that this a stepping-stone into something great,” said Warmington. “I just knew that next summer was gonna be the summer for me, because I was a little bit worried about going into college and not knowing what’s next, like how am I gonna prepare for internships for the fall and summer, especially the really competitive ones.”
