We believe in opening doors for young people to learn, lead, and thrive. The Lozafina Cohorts Program is a 90-day, hands-on internship designed to give aspiring creatives and future leaders the tools, mentorship, and real-world experience they need to succeed in branding, marketing, and communications.

We want this program to be completely free for participants — because access to opportunity shouldn’t depend on financial barriers. That’s where you come in.
