Q&A

Resource Mobilization Intern

July - August 2019 • Dhaka, Dhaka Division

What I liked

As I was the only intern in my department, I was expected to be very independent and proactive. However, everyone was always very kind and willing to help. If I was confused about something or had other questions, I never hesitated to approach my boss and team.

Writing

June - July 2018 • Colombo, Sri Lanka

What I liked

I enjoyed seeing international development in action. My favorite part was designing and leading a storytelling workshop for field staff to promote ethical and effective interviews with clients.

What I wish was different

I wish I had had more work. I didn’t feel challenged and spent a lot of my day doing personal reading.

Advice

Internships are always worthwhile, whether you gain valuable career experience or learn that the job or field isn’t for you, like I did.

Research and Prospect Management Intern

June - August 2018 • Fairfield, CT

What I liked

The people I worked with were very smart and passionate, and it felt good to be doing something positive for the world.

What I wish was different

I would have liked to have been paid and I am not super interested in the resource development aspects of my role.

Advice

STC is a great organization and is planning on paying their interns in the future so I would recommend applying if you’re interested in the non-profit sector.
