The semester-long interns are paid $13 an hour and work 10-15 hours a week to complete projects that aid in the sustainability of the nonprofits in the advocacy, communications, education and enrichment, and environmental sectors. The program has been fortunate to partner with many leading nonprofits across Long Island and the New York metro area.

I received much help with creating, editing and constantly updating my résumé with people like Ms. Bernadine Waller. I also was given advice on the right Work-Study job on campus and summer internships and research. Overall, they helped and assisted in any way possible when it came to furthering my career, both short term and long term.
