R&B superstar Usher has teamed up with the WNBA's Atlanta Dream to serve his nonprofit organization, New Look. For four years, New Look has been hosting camps for teens in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Cleveland and Milwaukee in an effort to empower youth by giving them skills for careers in the sports and entertainment industries. The partnership with the Dream now offers teens a chance to be able to intern with the team, giving them the experience to work within a professional basketball organization which offers experience in sports management, player development and game day operations and marketing.
"I'm extremely excited about Camp New Look's partnership with the Atlanta Dream, and look forward to witnessing how this new partnership motivates our young people to even greater heights," Usher said. "We wanted to do something extra special for our students, and I'm happy that the Atlanta Dream have provided an avenue for our young entrepreneurs to attain real life experience."
Usher and New Look previously had an internship program with the NHL. The Atlanta Dream is an expansion WNBA team who will tip-off their first game on May 23 against the Detroit Shock.
