How We Work
We’re a small, dedicated team of less than 10 people located in the United States of America and Cuba. Most collaboration is done digitally through email and platforms such as WhatsApp to accomplish our goals. This means that there is no need to “clock in” at an office. This is a global internship that can be done anywhere with reliable internet access!
