Thistle Farms

Education and Outreach Intern

June - August 2019 • Nashville, TN

What I liked

I liked their mission and the way the company was run overall. For those that don't know, Thistle Farms is a residential/employment program for survivors of human trafficking. They founded the Thistle Network, a partnership of organizations across the country with the same mission whose program is inspired by theirs. I worked in the department that supports and oversees the network, so it was really cool to see all the organizations across the country doing the same thing, and how their programs differ.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have had the opportunity to do more things out in the community and in other branches of the company. I spent a lot of time in front of a screen making spreadsheets.

Advice

Lots of people apply to intern here so apply as early as possible so that you're able to get into a department that you're generally interested in.
