My Nonprofit Reviews

I had the opportunity to complete my internship with Connect With a Wish during the Spring 2018 semester. I was amazed at all the services provided by this organization to the children in foster care in the Virginia Beach area. Being apart of the various events that help the children in care feel confident in themselves was self rewarding! The youth groups attended monthly life benefiting topic meetings that will help them succeed regardless of their current situation. I also had the opportunity to part take in the Annual Pungo Wine Festival where ALL of the proceeds benefited the children in foster care was phenomenal. To see our community come together regardless of weather, to provide more opportunities and funds for the foster care population was amazing! I could not have picked a better organization to complete my internship requirements for Old Dominion University. I now have the opportunity to work along side the Founder/President Joy Rios, helping her fulfill the services that Connect With a Wish provides to the children in foster care. Connect With a Wish is just an overall amazing organization that has left an impacting impression on our surrounding community, by bringing more awareness to the foster care population.
