“My mentor was really helpful and cared about me, and I was actually able to work on things that would help the hospital. ”

Adaptive Sports Intern

May 2019 - August 2019 Chicago, IL
“I loved how active the internship was! We biked to a lot of our programs and assisted in a lot of the facilitation, which also required a lot of physical work. In addition, we balanced the active programming throughout the Chicagoland area with office work, so I feel really well-rounded leaving. ”
