Not only do I have the fantastic job of being a staff writer at Invisible Children, but I also have the fantastic job of heading up the IC Appreciation Subcommittee (under the umbrella of the Fun Committee — we have committees for dayssss).

My small committee chooses different employees and interns to appreciate at random. We draw their name out of a jar, pick a day, and surprise the heck out of them in ways they never see coming. Banners hanging in the lobby, their favorite candy, lunch with an office crush, notes of appreciation from the staff…

Mr. Chadwick Gantes

We recently appreciated Chadwick, one of our Graphic Designers, and bestowed upon him the below video which premiered at our staff meeting.

Before you watch it, please know this – the staff we interviewed had no idea what this video was for and were asked to answer the following:

Describe Ryan Gosling

What do you think of the President of the United States?
What are your favorite personality traits of your grandpa?

And that led to the first-ever Appreciation Day video. Enjoy.

I would love nothing more than to appreciate you. But you’ll need to apply to be an intern first. And it just so happens that applications for our fall internships are open. Go HERE and see if your road could lead you to my appreciation name jar.
