What I liked

The team was really great to work with and involved me in all aspects of the organization. Especially in the time of transition, it was a fulfilling learning experience to witness what goes into reorganizing, re-branding, and growing a nonprofit. They were also super supportive in allowing me to pursue my own goals and projects.

What I wish was different

I wish that there had been more for me to do. Although I had agreed to do 12 hours a week, there were not enough projects that helped me to fill this time. Once I began creating projects for myself, I felt more productive and helpful, however, there was not a lot given for me to do and not a lot of instruction.

Advice

One piece of advice I would give is to be ready to make your own work. Although not a lot was given for me to do, I was able to find ways to help the advancement of the organization myself. It's also important to advocate for your own goals and work towards those while also serving the organization.
