Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation

Public Affairs–Education Intern

June - July 2019 • Kansas City, MO

What I liked

At the Foundation, the associates worked hard to be inclusive of the interns that were there for about 8-weeks total. The program was immersive and focused heavily on community engagement. They wholeheartedly trusted us, and encouraged us to be apart of the Foundation's culture.

What I wish was different

We tackled some pretty expansive projects, and learned so much in the span of two months. I would have hoped for a longer internship. I think that the extra could have elevated my final presentation as a whole, but overall, I feel the interns were able to produce really cohesive projects.

Advice

Engage with as many people you can. I worked with individuals throughout the city, as well as the amazing associates of the Foundation. The lessons I received from everyone truly stays with me today.
