Meet Capitol Pathways student Metadel Lee!

Update posted 5 years ago

Meet Metadel, a student from Hamline University who is interning with Hennepin Healthcare! Learn more about her journey to Capitol Pathways, and how she hopes to use this experience: https://citizensleague.org/blog/giveathomemn-metadel-lee/ 

People like you are at the core of our work at the Citizens League, including our Capitol Pathways Internship Program for college students of color and Indigenous students. 


Through our program, students gain hands-on legislative experience interning with different organizations—government agencies, nonprofits, corporations and more—working at and around the Capitol during the legislative session. Following a cohort model, students also receive supplementary leadership and policymaking training from the program.

 

For all of us, this spring looks very different than we pictured. At the Citizens League, instead of celebrating our Capitol Pathways students’ work at the Capitol, we are hearing stories about challenges surrounding their academic work, lost wages, and housing insecurity just to name a few due to COVID-19.

 

These are difficult challenges, but with your help they are not insurmountable. 

 

Make a gift today and be a part of our month-long effort to raise $10,000, critical funds to support the Capitol Pathways students of today, and tomorrow! 

 

Starting on May 1, with #GiveAtHomeMN, your gift to the Citizens League will fund the urgent needs of our students today, and help us bring the program back for years to come. Of the $10,000 raised, $5,000 will go directly to this year’s students, and the remaining $5,000 will go to support our 2021 program year.

 

It’s easy to imagine the change we can create for the future if we come together as a community. Please join us and make a gift today.
