“The massive influence, the positive impact, the social change that AP promotes is so impressive that nobody would believe me when I told them AP is run just by Iain, Karen and a team of 4 interns. Though, for me, it was not a surprise–our small office in DC was filled with dedication, ambition, and faith in better futures for those who are marginalized. Hence, the great, family-like, work environment led to productivity and efficiency–as an intern, I could truly feel that I was a part of something bigger than myself. In our AP family, my voice, my opinions, my input mattered! As the Coordinator for Fundraising and Outreach, I was given the opportunity to be creative, be in charge, be responsible for real actionable tasks. Karen and Iain empowered me, so that I could empower AP’s partners. From conducting outreach activities in federal departments to creating and executing fundraising strategies on behalf of our partners, I had many favorite moments that I am proud of. If you are looking for a hands-on internship experience where you will learn a lot, AP is for you too!”
