MEET THE INTERNS | BEN & SARAH
It’s pretty wild to believe that our summer interns, Ben and Sarah, have been here for a month already. It hasn’t taken nearly that long for us to fall in love with them, which is why we’re excited for you get to know them too! We sat down with these two gems for an inside scoop into […]
Three things we look for in a new hire
When you work in People Operations (known as Human Resources in most organizations), the golden question you are always asked is, “What do you look for in an applicant?” Well, I’m here to let the cat out of the bag. One of the most exciting parts of my job is getting to hand-pick the incredible […]
New voice on the blog // Meet Liz Arthur
Our communications department just got a new addition. We couldn’t be more excited to introduce you to our newest communication intern. Apparently she used to go by “Queen Arthur” in fifth grade – but now she says we can just call her Liz. She’s also an up-and-coming sociologist who loves the rain and names her pets after Star Wars characters. You’ll be seeing more of […]

As a nonprofit-loving people-person, Tyler gets the opportunity to rub elbows (over the phone, at least) with big […]
Intern spotlight // International Programs
Meet Lauren. We can’t get enough of her. Really though. Lauren is currently interning with Invisible Children for her third non-consecutive internship season. We were sad to see her leave for a little while she finished an International Affairs degree at James Madison University and spent a year au pairing in France, but – fortunately for […]

Affectionately known among the interns as Mustache Matt, this Lancaster, Pennsylvania native has had a career that is as interesting as he is: from burger-flipping to printmaking, glass-blowing to lumber yard-ing, Matt was a bit of renaissance man until he resolved to move to across the country to California, job or no job.

If you walk through the doors of our San […]
