INTERN TESTIMONIALS
Samantha Paredes
Policy Intern
Summer 2019
I initially chose to intern at HOPE because I wanted to advocate for Latinx rights through legislation. Not only did I learn about policy advocacy, but I learned about the positive influence of working at a place like HOPE. The tight-knit environment was comforting and provided me a space to demonstrate my full potential. By the end of my internship at HOPE, I gained a better sense of my career expectations and gained a team of women that I know will support me in my future endeavors.
Kiara Duran
Youth Programs Intern
Fall 2018 - Summer 2019
I honestly loved interning with such empowering women when I was at HOPE. I always felt incredibly welcomed to be there and to share my opinion on the projects we were working on. I also learned from everyone, as each person had a very unique style in their approach to their departments, but worked as an empowering team creating such a great working environment. I loved that HOPE was my first internship and that I have been able to stay in touch with the amazing leaders working there!

Youth Programs Intern
Summer 2020
Working as a remote intern this summer has been incredibly rewarding. Even though my internship may not be in person, I have still gained a lot of technical skills and interpersonal growth from what the organization has to offer. HOPE has been super flexible and has catered to my needs as an intern.
