Lozafina Kicks Off Summer 2026 by Welcoming Interns

Story by Itzel Davila Torres

We believe in investing in young leaders, storytellers, and creative professionals. Through meaningful mentorship and hands-on learning opportunities, we are committed to helping young people develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in their future careers. 

This summer, we are proud to once again partner with the Latino Center of the Midlands’ Siembra Nebraska program to welcome six talented interns to the Lozafina and Hiya teams.

Throughout the summer, these interns will gain real-world experience in content creation, communications, marketing, public relations, and media. They will work on client projects, strengthen their professional skills, and explore career pathways while learning from experienced industry professionals. 

Our internship program is designed to help students develop critical workplace skills, including teamwork, professionalism, creativity, problem-solving, and leadership, that can be applied to any future career.

We are excited to welcome this year’s interns and look forward to supporting their growth through the summer.
