The Utah Center for Legal Inclusion is proud to partner for the first time with the University of Utah’s Community Champions Internship Program as we welcome Summer 2026 intern Samuel Hill. This new collaboration represents an exciting opportunity to strengthen mentorship, experiential learning, and community impact while supporting students early on in their academic career, who are passionate about leadership and service.
The Community Champions Internship Program is designed to connect students with meaningful, hands-on experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Through mentorship, project-based learning, and professional development, interns gain practical skills while contributing to organizations committed to creating lasting change in their communities. The program encourages students to build confidence, expand their networks, and explore careers through real-world engagement and collaboration.
This partnership aligns closely with UCLI’s mission to create pathways into the legal profession and foster a more fair legal community. As a Program Development Intern, Samuel will contribute to initiatives that support outreach, engagement, and professional programming while gaining valuable exposure to Utah’s legal community.
We are thrilled to welcome Samuel to UCLI this summer and are happy to support his growth. We look forward to the perspective and energy he will bring to our team. To learn more about Samuel, please read his bio below:
