Stay at PWM or look for another internship?

Hi everyone, I'm a current sophomore curious about how to approach my sophomore summer. I worked my ass off in high school and went to a semi-target my freshman year, but they raised the tuition on us and refused to negotiate, so this year I'm at community college and will transfer to a 4 year public school next fall (we have a good public school here). I interned at a small PWM firm my freshman summer, and after enrolling in CC I've continued to work here part time throughout the school year. I like working here and they pay me well, should I still try to network into a different internship for next summer even as a community college student? I'm not sure whether it's worth it to try and get something else or if it'd be better to just stay here. I know I'll be behind the curve on the IB timeline as a CC student, but I'm open to most positions in finance and not dead set on anything yet.
