"The interns were more like part of our family here than just someone passing through, and that speaks highly of their commitment, intelligence, and enthusiasm for truly "making a difference" in the world. Thank you for finding them and putting us together! "
National Crime Prevention Council
“Our intern was amazing – she picked up the work so quickly, she blended right in with the organization and hit the ground running. She added extreme value to our organization and it was a shame to see her go… The Fund has always placed exceptional interns at Martha’s Table – they are always a good fit.”
