My Experience Interning with the Education Fund
As an intern with the Ed Fund, I was able to grow and learn in so many ways. The staff was always appreciative of my input, and I felt like an integral member of the staff and not "just an intern." As a graduate student of public health, my experiences at the Ed Fund greatly supplemented my education and allowed me to discover and explore new interests and guide me on my future career path.
