To help set the tone for a successful summer, make sure you arrive on time and prepared each Monday. Please plan transportation in advance and communicate with your parent/guardian or ride support if needed.

ProX Experience Norms
Build Community
We look out for one another, encourage each other, and help create a space where every intern feels seen, supported, and included.
Show Up Ready
We arrive on time, prepared, and engaged. Whether we are at PD, our internship site, or connecting with our coach, we take responsibility for how we show up and contribute.
Stay Open To Learning
We ask questions, receive feedback, try new things, and reflect on our growth.
Lead with Respect
We treat every person with dignity, kindness, and professionalism. We listen to understand, speak with care, and honor different experiences, perspectives, and identities.
Practice Professionalism Everywhere
We represent ourselves, our families, our schools, our employers, and ProX with care. Our words, actions, communication, and choices should reflect the kind of leaders we are becoming.
Weekly Professional Development (PD) Overview
Weekly Professional Development (PD) sessions are a core part of your ProX internship experience and take place every Monday throughout the summer. During PD, you’ll participate in workshops, coaching sessions, and interactive activities focused on building work-ready skills like communication, collaboration, leadership, critical thinking, professionalism, and career readiness.
These sessions are designed to support the hands-on learning happening at your internship site and help you continue growing both personally and professionally throughout the summer experience.

ProX and The DeBruce Foundation’s Partnership
ProX is excited to continue our partnership with The DeBruce Foundation for a fifth summer supporting our interns through Agilities and career exploration tools designed to help young people better understand future pathways.
The DeBruce Foundation is a national foundation whose mission is to expand both economic growth and opportunity. These tools allow students to gain deeper insight into professional environments that directly support their success beyond the ProX experience.
This summer, we are excited to continue integrating Agilities into our professional development programming to help students strengthen career literacy and cultivate confidence in the next generation of workforce.
Plan Ahead: Anticipated World Cup Road Closures
Some streets near the FIFA Fan Fest in Kansas City are expected to experience closures and increased traffic. Showing up on time is an important part of your internship experience, so we encourage you to plan your route ahead of time and allow for extra travel time when needed.
While unexpected delays can happen, preparing in advance helps set you up for success. Please review the map and article below to help plan your transportation and arrival throughout the summer.
