SLAM is dedicated to making a difference through community outreach, pro bono work, and industry mentorship. Our pro bono program provides design expertise to organizations in need, supporting projects like City of Refuge in Atlanta and St. Vincent de Paul Place in Connecticut. We also give back through hands-on efforts, including Habitat for Humanity, Relay for Life, American Heart Association Heart Walk and local MLK Day of Service initiatives. Through initiatives like ACE Mentor Program of America, Boys & Girls Clubs, and the Kyle C. Slocum Memorial Scholarship for landscape architecture students, we proudly invest in the next generation. These efforts reflect our commitment to social responsibility and the need for lifting our communities.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A work in progress needs a place to progress.

The SLAM Internship Program offers students a 10\u201312-week experience designed to immerse them in real-world design projects. Throughout the program, interns participate in weekly meetings that encourage learning and interaction. These sessions cover a broad range of topics, including the design process, software tools, and insights from full-time employees. Here, your questions are answered, and you’ll also learn how to present your work effectively. To ensure a supportive experience, we assign a dedicated coordinator who provides guidance, organizes site visits, and arranges portfolio reviews. While much of the internship is project-focused, the program also emphasizes professional growth and the building of meaningful social connections.<\/p>\n
