Open Arms of Minnesota

Nonprofit Intern

May 2020 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

The fast paced environment was amazing. Everyone at Open Arms is friendly and communicates well. The volunteers I was able to work with were fantastic and the overall job experience caused me to want to pursue more nonprofit-based opportunities.

What I wish was different

I was very satisfied overall. There were the general annoyances working with a team can have, but nothing I'd change overall.

Advice

Be prepared to shift from task to task. Open Arms is very fast paced, and you'' need to be able to change what you're doing based on who needs your assistance. Having a positive attitude is also a hug help, as interacting with volunteers is crucial to making Open Arms a place to which they'll want to return.
