What I liked
I loved the work we did, it really inspired me in what I want to do in the future.
What I wish was different
It was the first time this program had run at this location so obviously there was some miscommunication and confusion, but I trust they will have that worked out by next summer.
Advice
Be flexible, the schedule can be really different from 9-5 which can be frustrating if you come in with the wrong mindset.

Missional Intern
June - August 2017 • Gresham, OR
What I liked
I really enjoyed meeting and living with other interns. It challenged me to learn about myself and work on things about myself that are not the best qualities. It was also incredible to hear different perspectives and see different personalities.
What I wish was different
Advice
Go in with an open mind. By that I mean wiling to be pushed and challenged emotionally and mentally.
