Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) recently sponsored Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 Students2Work Program to provide two students with the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on work experience and mentorship. Now in its seventh year, the Student2Work program has provided hundreds of high school juniors and seniors with paid internship experiences at local nonprofits. SRNS-sponsored interns Alex Miles and Thomas Clark completed their six-week summer internship with Alliance for Fort Eisenhower. The pair assisted in planning the largest CyberPatriot summer camp in the region. In addition, they helped plan and execute the distribution of 100 AT&T grant provided computers to military spouses stationed on Fort Eisenhower. “Our interns did a phenomenal job working on the CyberPatriot summer camp planning committee for the Alliance,” said Tom Clark, Executive Director of CSRA Alliance for Fort Eisenhower. “CyberPatriot promotes STEM programs to area K-12 children to strengthen their cyber skills. We had a remarkable turnout of nearly 220 campers between the ages of 10 and 17.” Since 2019, the Alliance for Fort Eisenhower has hosted free CyberPatriot summer camps— graduating over 750 of the region’s youth from basic and advanced programs. This year, over 66% of attending campers had an immediate family member serving in the United States military, and 40% were female. “Without the support of SRNS and Augusta Chamber, these efforts could not be possible,” said Clark. President and CEO of Augusta Chamber Sue Parr said, “Nineteen of our students this year were sponsored by organizations like SRNS and placed in various nonprofits throughout the community. We are extremely grateful for the community support that allows these students to gain confidence and mentorship for their future career.”
