At Education Matters, interns are more than just temporary team members—they’re an essential part of our mission and family. Over the past months, we’ve had the privilege of working with a talented and passionate group of interns who balanced their time between impactful work and preparing for the next step in their academic journeys. As they now get ready to begin their studies at top colleges and universities around the world, we reflect on their time with us, the legacy they’ve built, and the future they’re stepping into.
Meet the Interns

This fall, she joins Bates College (Class of 2029), where we know she’ll continue championing change.
A graduate of the USAPCS Class of 2024, Jacquelyn brought a curious mind, creative spark, and remarkable attention to detail to her role as Programs Intern. During her work on the Capstone Programme, Zimbabwe Career Connect, and many other projects, her contributions were thoughtful, thorough, and consistently precise. This fall, she joins Smith College (Class of 2029), where her drive for excellence and innovation will no doubt continue to flourish.
A graduate of the USAP Class of 2023, Torindwanashe brought responsibility, and initiative to her role in Finance and Administration. She consistently completed her tasks ahead of time and approached her work with focus and care. Beyond the office, she is passionate about gender equality and the rights of women and girls—a cause she continues to champion. This fall, she begins her studies at New York University Abu Dhabi, where her discipline and advocacy are sure to thrive.
A graduate of the USAP Class of 2024, Knowledge ensured our internal systems ran smoothly while fostering a creative and collaborative atmosphere.

A USAP Class of 2024 graduate, Grace brought thoughtful storytelling and quiet leadership to our communications team.

This talented cohort now heads off to Bates, Smith, NYU Abu Dhabi, Princeton, Amherst, and Pomona. We could not be prouder. Their next chapters will be full of discovery, challenge, and purpose—and we’re honoured to have been a part of their journey.
