President Obama speaks at Urban Alliance 25th anniversary.

Join us on this page to celebrate our students, achievements, accomplishments, partners, funders, supporters and friends. We also pay tribute to our founder Andrew Plepler, whose vision to impact the lives of high school students in unimaginable ways so that they can excel professionally.  

Let’s reflect on the past 25 years of achievements, milestones and hundreds of stories and extraordinary moments from the more than 6,000 we’ve connected to paid internships across our Greater Washington, DC area, Baltimore, Chicago, and Detroit regions.
