One of the most exciting parts about working at LIFT is the relationships you build and the people you meet! LIFT also provides the opportunity for interns to get a chance to learn from every department and build networking opportunities to use for the future. Take a chance and learn a little bit about our interns!

Why did you decide to work at a non-profit?
I think that, specifically, this non-profit out of all of the other ones is super mission driven. I like the fact that non-profits have a reason to do what they’re doing and it’s not all revenue based. What’s not more revenue based than a non-profit, you know what I’m saying? It’s cool to work for an organization that is working towards a goal and is working to play their part and change the world.
What kind of impact do you want to make in your community?
I think my biggest thing right now is mentorship and mentoring young children. I think that they need direction. In this world, the more it progresses and the more that goes on in the news, they need more direction and help to stay on a guided path. So, I think mentoring children who don’t have the means to get help is important. Like, kids who are shy, who are outsiders, who have a hard time at school. Introverts.
How do you like our work environment? Relationships with other interns and employees?
I think LIFT is an amazing place to be, to work, to see. Every time I walk in, I say thank you because I’m happy to be here all of the time. My relationship with my co-workers is great. Everyone is super nice and open. Everyone is super understanding and helpful. I feel very invited and everyone is just so welcoming here.
