Plana for Success Internship Program

Rooted in Culture. Driven by Purpose.

At Plana for Success, we believe in more than building a brand — we believe in building people. That’s why we’ve created the Plana for Success Internship Program, a paid opportunity designed exclusively for currently enrolled HBCU students to gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, creativity, and cultural storytelling.

This is a fully remote, part-time program with a $400/week stipend. Interns will dedicate approximately 20 hours per week with some flexibility, making it an ideal opportunity for students balancing summer classes or other obligations.
