“This internship showed me what it was like to work with a non-profit. I got to see the back end of how big events work, how social media is managed, and how campaigns are run. I got to understand the nitty-gritty details that go into producing smooth sailing work at a non-profit organization focused on women’s issues—a field in which I intend to pursue as a career after I graduate. This internship gave me a great sneak peek into what I intend to do after college.”

“Protesting with NOW-NYC and other feminist organizations during the Kavanaugh hearings is my favorite memory from this experience. I had never participated in a rally, so it was exciting to witness that moment in history from the ‘front lines’ as an activist.”
