I liked how much flexibility and creativity we were allowed to bring to our work. They let us choose what we were most interested in working on so that we could get the most out of our internship.
What I wish was different
I wish I had participated a bit more in the policy side of the non-profit. I decided to focus on social media, communications, and blog-writing, but if I had more time I would like to learn about policy initiatives.
Advice
I would advise to just get as involved as you can because you really get out of it what you put in. The organization has a lot of different areas of impact and the president, Terry, has a lot of good connections and advice if you want any further guidance!
