In the words of past interns:
“I LOVE the organization. Its model and international/intercontinental impact is truly remarkable, and something I'm so thankful I was able to get even just a taste of through webinars that included presenters from branches from other countries. I also think the communication between the Argentina branch director (Flo, she is awesome) and all of the other team members is really awesome and the environment seems very collaborative and open. Diana & my communication and rapport was a highlight of the program experience! I always felt supported & open to be able to ask questions anytime.” - Emma B., Coordination and Service Intern, from Georgetown University
