Inside the internship
I have loved being a part of the NGO and working with students in the classrooms. It has been very meaningful to work alongside my co-workers to facilitate engaging educational programming on stereotyping, gender roles, respect, consent, and more.

Educational Psychology Intern
I volunteered at a wonderful organization where I got to work with young children, ages 15 months to 2 years, in an orphanage. The language barrier was sometimes difficult, but the workers would do their best to help me understand the task at hand.
