Black Star Line ACFEC developed Embrace Your Best Self as a program to support youth and emerging adults (EAs) in their next stages of development. We saw a need to facilitate self-awareness of their cultural, ethnic, racial, spiritual, financial, global, and academic identities. We identify participants each year and learn new ways to deepen our engagement. This year we are engaging participants focusing on skillful livelihood via an internship, hence Embrace Your Best Self: Transformational Internship Experience
