Purposeful Growth Institute

Undergraduate Fellow

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Inspiring Capital promotes a very employee-centric program. Its training program is unique in that it not only emphasizes Inspiring Capital's unique mission of promoting social benefit through entrepreneurial means, but it also is cognizant of the fact that its MBA's and undergraduates are looking for other experiences afterward. Mentorship was strong and I learned various skills that have propelled me toward getting job experience in more relevant fields.

What I wish was different

This fellowship is unpaid, meaning transportation costs were not covered, so my commute drained me of a lot of resources

Undergraduate Impact Consulting Fellow

June 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I was opened to a wide network of people I would have otherwise never have had the opportunity to meet. I was trusted with a great deal of responsibly and hands-on experience. More hands-on experience than I would have had the opportunity to be involved with at other internships I was looking at.

What I wish was different

I wish it was paid, but I had such an incredible experience that in a way it made up for the internship being unpaid.

Advice

Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone, because you can be pleasantly surprised with where the opportunity may lead you.
