My Nonprofit Reviews

Being a content writer for The Borgen Project was a wonderful experience. They have high expectations that are all clearly communicated at the beginning of the internship. There are weekly deadlines that can be challenging if you do not plan accordingly. I had to write 1 article a week between 500 and 900 words. I also had to mobilize others to reach out to our representatives to show our support for world hunger, poverty, and education initiatives. Additionally, I set aside about 2 hours a week to focus on my fundraising goals.

I stepped outside of my comfort zone and learned how to be a more professional communicator, researcher, and writer. My first article was a mess, I knew it, but I did not know how to fix it. They gave me a lot of helpful feedback, and by my third article, I felt more confident in my writing skills.

I would recommend this opportunity to anyone wanting real-world experience and to build your network.

I've added some of the content creation I worked up for my social media accounts to support The Borgen Project.
