Working with a non-profit can be very rewarding! it’s awesome to read about the common drive and dedication that is shared among everyone. For me, that would be an important part of any job. Even though your responsibilities could have been tedious, its great to know that your work is helping others. I have found that non-profits are incredibly organized and efficient, making it relatively easy to find your place in the company. Sounds like you had a great experience and hopefully you continue to find great places to work!

Hi Krista! I actually was looking into the LLS internship as well. I ended up at Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Working hands on with the topic of cancer is something that I can’t explain, and it seems like you are having a similar experience. I like how you stated the variety of projects you’re working on. I feel like that is most beneficial for us at this time in our careers, so we can really see to whole spectrum of businesses. Although I’m not working in a non-profit, I can relate to the positive feeling you have working for cancer patients. Thanks for the great post.

Hi Krista! Your experience at a non-profit sounds great. It’s awesome that you’re getting a wide array of experiences and being able to tailor your workload to what benefits both, you and LLS. It’s also super cool that you’re able to get a head start on interning. Hopefully your next two years bring you opportunities that are just as amazing as this one!

Hey Krista! I am a senior ad major taking my first internship so congrats on getting your foot in the door early unlike myself. Honestly, it seems like you have a good idea of what you would like to do and the mindset to do it. It’s great that you had/have the opportunity to pick what you’re working on to a degree and have a boss/coworkers, who create a good environment. Best of luck!
