Special Events Intern

May - August 2018 • Arlington County, VA

What I liked

I enjoyed learning the process of reading contracts and learning every step to planning an event.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more events to work on. There were only 3 events that I worked on.

Advice

During the first week get familiar with all aspects of the office. Therefore when you don’t have an assignment to work on you can find small projects to help the office.

Programs and Marketing Coordinator

July 2018 • Bagram, Parwan Province

What I liked

The opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. The fulfilling nature of my work

What I wish was different

Lazy co workers make the work unbalanced. If you are motivated and believe in doing well, you carry a lot of the workload

Advice

It’s worth it. Long hours and exhausting. You live in a warzone but you get a chance to travel
