From Interns to Leaders:
Dhruv & Maxenley
What started as a hands-on STEM internship has quickly turned into something more.

At New Bedford Research and Robotics, Dhruv and Maxenley didn’t just learn, they stepped up. Now serving as Lead Interns, they’re helping guide, support, and mentor other students while continuing to build their own skills in 3D printing, robotics, and computer software.

That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from showing up, taking initiative, and earning trust.

Dhruv will take that momentum with him to Wentworth Institute of Technology to study Mechanical Engineering, while Maxenley will continue his journey at Bristol Community College, exploring the STEM field as he defines his path.

This is what makes the GLCPS Internship Program different. Our students aren’t just placed, they’re empowered to grow into leaders. And partners like New Bedford Research & Robotics make that possible.
👏 Leadership in action
🤝 Partnership that matters

🌟⚖️ Internship Spotlight ⚖️🌟
A huge thank you to the Fall River Superior District Court for partnering with the GLCPS College & Career Center and providing meaningful, hands-on learning experiences for our students.
Shout-out to GLCPS students, Cassidy and Ezven for their professionalism, growth, and commitment throughout their internship. Both students had the opportunity to attend court sessions, read case files, and support probation officers, gaining real-world insight into the legal system.
With shared interests in law enforcement, this experience allowed both students to explore the field firsthand. Cassidy built confidence navigating the courtroom and strengthened her communication skills, while Ezven developed strong communication, time management, adaptability, and responsibility skills as he built relationships and deepened his understanding of how the court system operates.
This experience gave both students valuable clarity and direction for their future goals, exactly what internships are all about.

🌟GLCPS Internship Spotlight🌟 This week we are proud to spotlight GLCPS Senior, Yennielle and our community partner Oshun Physical Therapy and Pelvic Health in New Bedford for providing a meaningful internship experience.

During his placement, Yennielle had the opportunity to work in a real healthcare environment under the guidance of Dr. Justina Perry, where he learned about physical therapy, pelvic health, and the daily responsibilities of running a medical office. He assisted with checking in patients and answering phones, fulfilling all the duties of a PT Aide, created content for the monthly newsletter and worked on weekly metrics and patient appreciation tasks. Yennielle built important employability skills such as communication, time management, adaptability, and responsibility.

Through this experience, Yennielle gained valuable clarity about his future. While the internship confirmed his interest in the medical field, it also helped him realize that his goals are better aligned with emergency medical services. After graduation, he plans to pursue training to become an EMT.

Internships like this are a perfect example of what makes the GLCPS program so powerful. Students gain real-world experience, and our community partners play a vital role in helping them make informed decisions about their future.

We are grateful to Dr. Perry for her mentorship, and proud of Yennielle for his growth, honesty, and hard work throughout this placement.
