Due to the turbulence of this past year and a half, I am grateful that Connect-123 not only found me a wonderful internship, but one which could have an impact on those affected by said turbulence. My remote internship at a Budapest-based non-profit consisted of helping migrants and marginalized communities in Hungary through grants and legal aid, spreading awareness through social media, and working closely with my supervisors to come up with ideas. The professional development provided by both the internship experience and Connect-123 has made me more confident in my abilities in the workplace, but what sets Connect-123 apart is the international reach. As I study international relations and I plan on working abroad in the future, this was the perfect opportunity to practice working in an international context and gaining experience in communication and managing time differences. With the future of labor moving towards the online space, I’m grateful I had an opportunity to see what that could feel like while having the chance to network and get to know folks who pursue social justice work.
