Community Organizer
June 2019 • Miami, FL
What I liked
Getting to know different community leaders and ways to engage with my community. I was able to create my first event to address the needs of members of the community. I learned a lot dealing with listening to personal stories and ways to address social issues present in society.
What I wish was different
The time went by pretty quickly
Advice
It was an amazing experience that allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. It was an internship that was not directly related to my current field of study but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
