US Together

“I love the opportunity to do many different tasks with clients and for the staff. The variety is what I enjoyed the most, we could be working on a project and then we get a notice that there is a family who is coming in and it is all hands on deck. Everyone in the office is doing their part to make sure the new arrivals have what they need and we put together a welcome package.”

“My Favorite part about my internship was being able to travel around the world while staying in one place. While being a matching grant intern, I had the pleasure to help refugees find employment, while assisting them in finding a job I was able to work closely with the interpreter! Being able to hear multiple languages spoken in one day was WONDERFUL! I was able to be taken to different countries just by sitting in a room, and it was so cool. Another part about my time at US Together I loved was the staff. They were the sweetest people I ever met; they always offered me lunch and checked in with me. They also gave me a task that I did not think I would enjoy because of my lack of creativity. But they all turned out well. A few tasks I had was creating flyers for their Microenterprise and Development Program and creating a bulletin board for clients to look at. Having this task allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, and I loved being challenged through these tasks. ”
