Are you a future leader looking to create change in our community this summer? Then apply to join our team of dedicated change makers!

The Isabella Santos Foundation (ISF) is dedicated to improving rare pediatric cancer treatment options in an effort to increase survival rates of kids with cancer. It was Isabella’s dream to Beat Cancer, Grow Hair, and Live Her Dreams. Although research and advanced treatments didn’t come in time for her dreams to come true, her legacy is pushing us to give others a fighting chance against rare pediatric cancer. 

We are so excited for the 3rd Annual ISF Summer Intern Program, especially in light of our 15-year anniversary. Intern leads and volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about rare pediatric cancers, the art of fundraising, how a successful nonprofit is run, and leadership skills they can take with them wherever they go in life. ISF summer interns will hear firsthand from supporters, children with rare cancers, and business leaders how important creating change is not just for cancer families, but our community as a whole.
