Benjamin comments on his internship:
Thank you to everyone involved with the Pedrozzi Foundation. As a scholarship recipient I have been grateful for the financial support, but after working for the Foundation for the past two years, I am even more thankful for both the staff and board members who make it all possible. This is an organization made up of the highest quality of people who deeply care about helping others succeed. These are engaging, thoughtful people with kind hearts. The conversations I had in the office and with board members were the most meaningful part of the job, and I am very thankful to have been a part of this tremendous team.
The Pedrozzi Foundation wishes Benjamin continued success throughout his college journey!
