MA Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence

Community Engagement Intern

August 2021 - May 2022 • Boston, MA

What I liked

The Coalition was a welcoming team from the very beginning. As a student with no interning experience, they took a chance with me. They provided me with a great year's worth of knowledge about gun violence, survivors, non-profit work, community engagement, and much more!

What I wish was different

I don't have much to say about the drawbacks of the Coalition itself. However, the non-profit world is slower than usual. Nonetheless, the team made sure to ask me what I wanted to do in moments of downtime and was actively involved in my work.

Advice

Ask questions! It may seem daunting to ask questions as you enter a new work space, but the Coalition is very open to helping you grow professionally and personally. The staff is always willing to talk and support no matter the subject, so be open to interaction!
