SEEC has been fortunate to have had 4 amazing interns in the past. Below, 2 of them share a bit about their experience working with an ENGAGE base.
Caitlin Ryan, Summer Intern 2009
“Working with SEEC this summer, I was excited by the opportunity to see how organizing within a community really happens, and be part such an early stage of that type of work in Glendale. It was an invaluable experience to be part of a team and really feel able to take on significant responsbility and be considered a vital part of shaping the emerging goals, strategies and values that come into play when working with a community. As I think ahead to how I will build on the experience I had this summer, I know that through my experience with SEEC, I have been equipped to be not only a doer but an initiator of change in my own realms of influence.” –Caitlin Ryan
Stephanie Teatro, Summer Intern 2008
“Like most folks, when I returned from Thailand my head was spinning with questions and fears about what came next–where and how I wanted to work, when I’d be able to get back to Thailand, and the like. By working with SEEC and learning from their model I was able to more deeply understand and appreciate the power of staying in one place and organizing where we come from. ENGAGE internships allow returning students and interns to learn from those who’ve come before and see the different ways we can organize and build bases locally.” –Stephanie Teatro
