Internship Location: Freeport IL
Organization Type: Nonprofit
Policy Areas: Poverty policy
I learned a lot about how this organization has to operate. They have to keep track of and report almost everything they do, because this is how they will receive their funding. I’ve taken an evidence based policy class through La Follette previously, and this was helpful for my work at my internship. I found the people at this organization to be very valuable to me, as they were very willing to help and answer any questions I had. They got me in contact with higher ups in the organization and this was a great networking opportunity. I would definitely recommend this internship to future students because it is a small organization that allows you to ask questions and get to know the process of how a non-profit organization operates.
