TurnUp Activism

Volunteer

July - August 2021 • Washington, DC

What I liked

What I liked about working at TurnUp was the environment. Everyone was very helpful and welcomed me in open arms. The tasks I was asked to do were my passions as well. We advocated for climate change, voting rights and the black lives matter movement. I felt like I really made an impact within the community and on social media too. Spreading news and awareness helped me realize that advocating for such topics are more important than ever as more elections are coming up and more studies of climate science encourages us to do better for our environment. I am grateful for the opportunity and the time I had with TurnUp, it really made me more active in helping others and the community itself.

What I wish was different

What I wish was different was meeting my group members more often since we were still living in a pandemic and not many of us could interact in-person. Overall, everything at the company was great and everyone who worked there were also awesome to work with.
