A MESSAGE FROM
OUR PACK LEADER
As a college student, I really struggled with getting a quality internship. It was very frustrating to have a level of talent that could not be developed further with the help of a mentor. I created this program because I knew our students needed it.
We launched this program in 2016 at Georgia State University, Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College, and Morehouse College. Our pack members have grown into industry leaders, and I am excited about bringing this to my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.
Our program is for elite students who will move into their industries with the skills needed to succeed. This is designed for every creative high school and college student who wants to get to the next level.

ABOUT US
Too often college students pursue their majors and not their passions. Entrepreneurship is at the core of our program and when students are taught how to identify their true passions they will be taught how to monetize their passions. We encourage students to excel in their majors, while holding them accountable for their actions and lack of actions.
Not everyone who joins the Wolfpack is kept active for the sake of taking up a seat. When students do not make their
WolfPack deadlines they are warned once and excused from the program after the second missed assignment.
Our goal is to provide a real world working experience for our students. No employer or client will keep them on their payroll for missing assignments, the sooner our students learn the better. This is not daycare and we do not treat it as such.
DO OUR INTERNS GET PAID?
A part of our national and local issue is that our students are graduating from these colleges and universities without any real skills, which means they can not compete for paid positions in their industries.
The question is simple: If a student had to get paid based on their professional skills, what should their professional salaries be? We have found that even though our students are talented, they are not skilled.
What these students are solely learning within their classes will not create the skills needed to earn a living. It is best to develop their skills now before going out into the real world. Within the Wolfpack our pack members eat what they kill. Once our pack members are taught how to monetize their assignments they will be paid accordingly. There is no limit to their earning potential, the limits are self-imposed. We will pay every Wolfpack intern exactly what they are worth.
HOW DO YOU JOIN?
Joining our pack is much easier than keeping up with our pack. A number of students join because it sounds good and they are excited about being a part of something new on campus. Then they realize the lazy habits developed with their professors will not work here.
Members of the Wolfpack make it happen and are not allowed to make excuses. One warning is issued for missing assignments, after that you will be excused from our pack. Our pack is only as fast as the slowest wolf and only as strong as the weakest wolf. We do not expect perfection, but we do expect an honest and consistent effort to operate within our pack. No exceptions. Our next opening for new members will be in January of 2021.

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING ABOUT THE WOLFPACK?
“Okeeba Jubalo, is an exemplary artist, multi-media entrepreneur and editor of YBE Magazine. He is also a friend, partner and co-founder of TheMaynardReport.com, and our online TV interview program GEORGIA POWER. After meeting with and lecturing to my four journalism classes, we discussed how we could train these interested students for what could be a pioneering HBCU media internship program beginning here at Clark Atlanta University.
Thus, The Wolfpack was conceived and created. But, that's the rare and appealing essence of Okeeba Jubalo. He is the quintessential creative spirit; a man who is riveting, robust, talented, savvy, and divinely gifted. Jubalo has crafted a dynamic internship program that is already making a dramatic difference in the lives of our journalism, videography and public relations students.
I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically endorse Jubalo and the brilliant breath of fresh air and spirit he has infused into his Wolfpack internship media team.”

“Working on the Black Ink Edition of YBE Magazine was a learning experience for me. As I applied what I learned from the classroom and previous internships to the issue, I soon found out there was more to publishing a magazine than I had originally thought. Time waits for no one. Learning to be proactive, and go after the stories I wanted to write was important. I had a deadline to meet so I had to keep working ahead in case things did not go as plan, I would have time to implement a backup plan. The more options I had, the better.
While creating the list of potential artists, I was told to triple my list of fifteen to create more options for the issue. You cannot rely on others.
Although I was only an intern, I had to move with a boss mentality. Be assertive when communicating with the artists. Time is money, and deadlines have to be met. It’s okay to proceed forward if someone begins to lag. That's why you have options.
Going forward I will be more assertive and confident in my work. I played it safe working on the issue, unsure and scared to make too many mistakes. Now, I know what to expect. I discovered most artists are excited about the opportunity and will be impressed with your work.”
