Akili Dada

I have been an intern for Akili Dada for four years now. I have chosen to make a large commitment to this amazing organization because I believe in its values and want to support them. It is women-focused, it has a long-term vision, it takes a positive approach, and it encourages innovation. I have been fortunate enough to work one-on-one with the founder/executive director throughout my internship, and from building a relationship with her, have full trust in the thoughtfulness, intelligence, and experience that she brings to Akili Dada. She has proven to me, through her articulate explanations of the amount of foresight that went into Akili Dada before it got off the ground, that Akili Dada has great promise. I believe in the brilliance of our scholars.

The Great!
  • The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... beautiful, intelligent, driven women.
Ways to make it better!
  • In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... building up slowly enough to maintain the quality of the organization.

MY ROLE:
I was a Volunteer & Intern in the U.S. who has managed financing, grant-writing, fundraisers, our website, etc.
