Youth Mentor

July - August 2020 • Boston, MA

What I liked

I liked being able to help these high schoolers learn something new and develop skills that will likely be applicable in the future.

What I wish was different

I personally didn't think that the program was very well organized and executed.

Advice

It's very important to be flexible! A lot of the students you are working with come from very different backgrounds, so you need to adapt and meet them in the middle to have success.

Development Intern

June - August 2019 • Roxbury, MA

What I liked

The people I worked with were very resourceful and helpful when I did not understand a certain task. The entire ambience was very welcoming and sincere.

What I wish was different

Although it wasn't paid, I wish they could have provided me with a discounted Charlie card or at least reimbursed me. There was a lot of field work that involved me taking the train. However, I completely understand that they couldn't afford it to due to their funding.

Advice

I think it's really important to make sure you go to the events that are put forth by the organization. Not only do you get to see the importance of what you're doing but you get to really connect with people.
