# BLAC Internship

BLAC is a paid twelve-week internship that trains Black and underrepresented emerging professionals and places them inside agencies across the country. Real desks. Real briefs. Real pay.

BLAC stands for Building Leaders And Creators. The published headline is “300+ advertising careers launched and counting.”

A round callout on the hero reads “Become a host agency” and “Access tomorrow’s talent today.” The button is “Sign up now.” It opens /decks/blac-host-agency-information-2027.pdf.
