Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago)

Government Affairs Intern

May - August 2019 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

I really enjoyed my time getting to know my cohorts and learning new skills through the lens of a non-profit organization. I worked on policy research in the Illinois General Assembly and planning civil engagement and public outreach events.

What I wish was different

The organization was a bit understaffed for the undertaking it had and the large community it serves, so there were some disorganization and productivity issues.

Advice
