Why Intern with the James Renwick Alliance?:
“As a JRA intern I was able to cultivate nonprofit management skills in a friendly, supportive working environment. The Alliance Director ensured I got hands on training and gave me the freedom and authority to use what I was learning in the field. I think above all else, the connections I made with the Alliance staff and it’s members made this experience invaluable. After this internship I feel more prepared to enter the workforce and confident in my ability to add value to any work environment. I highly encourage any undergrad looking for hands on experience in the nonprofit world to apply for this internship.” - Bridget Galvin, 2019 Intern
