Ceca Foundation

Marketing and Communications Intern

June 2019 - February 2020 • Washington, DC

What I liked

I liked how accessible staff were—they explained/contextualized tasks very clearly, I felt comfortable asking questions, and I found it easy to learn about Ceca's overall operations and values. Staff were also willing to talk about careers in nonprofit work/communications and included me in team meetings, which I found helpful. I also worked remotely for part of my time there and I liked the flexible scheduling.

Advice

Try to be open to completing all different kinds of assignments as they come up (such as video editing, creating marketing graphics, working with Excel spreadsheets, etc)
