Defend Our Health

Organizing Intern

June - August 2018 • Portland, ME

What I liked

I loved being in Portland, and working with the interns from other colleges. It was really interesting to learn about local Maine politics and become engaged in organizing strategies.

What I wish was different

There were definitely plenty of days when we didn't have much to do, since we could accomplish what needed to be done fairly quickly. A more structured and intense internship may have been more fulfilling, though it was interesting to have the free time and independence to make our own schedule and campaign plan.

Advice

Establish a relationship with your supervisors where you can ask for more work or work more related to things you're interested in if you're not feeling engaged.
