“I really enjoyed working with my team of 4 workers. They were all very helpful to me during my internship and made me feel at home in such a short amount of time. I enjoyed coming to work every Tuesday and Friday because I knew that the assignments and projects I was working on made a real impact and difference. I came into the organization knowing very little about how non-profit organizations worked, and over the three months of working with Akilah, I learned how they market themselves and do business. This experience was life-changing because I never thought that an office job would be so fulfilling. I am very grateful for the experience and recommend Akilah to any student who is looking for an internship position. ”
