Queens, New York - AMAG…For The Conscious Professional offers Summer Intern Program

AMAG…For The Conscious Professional offers Summer Intern Program. There are many industry leaders and businesses who do more than talk. James Lisbon, Publisher of AMAG, is one of those whoose actions speaks louder than words.

Mr. Lisbon having started AMAG almost four years ago continues to drive his mission home, which in part is to inspire, inform and entertain it's readers, with interviews and features of those who are active in their communities as well as making their dreams realities.

Lisbon says "one key to success is having experience, which is why we implemented our summer intern program. We want teens to have hands on experience in marketing, public speaking and organization skills..."

The interns range from ages 14-19 and seemed to be thrilled to be able to get a foot in the door of the most powerful industry there is -Media. "I think it's cool to learn about how a magazine works and be able to talk to people about this great magazine…there aren't too many magazines that will feature a local person" states 15 year old Malik Martin.

Asked about whether AMAG will continue with this program during the other seasons, Lisbon smiles and says "I take things one step at a time. For the present moment I am just happy to be able to add some enrichment in our young peoples lives. The internship is designed to build the child's personal aspirations first & foremost."
