  • Working with Kimbell staff to create marketing materials (photos, videos, etc.) for promoting teen programs
  • Promoting Kimbell teen programs by distributing flyers, participating in special events, and communicating with peers

What will you get out of the experience?

  • Have a say in building teen programming at the Kimbell
