Testimonials

Due to my passion for writing and digital design, I was interested in this position to share these PR skills in a non-profit setting. I want to learn from professionals in the non-profit and communication fields to further gain experience and have an impact in Alachua County. Throughout my time here, I am also learning how to develop a common platform on all social media platforms/newsletters and the same formal tone for messaging, which allows the company to develop a stronger reach and engagement.
Stephanie Stone, Summer Intern 2020 -
I chose to intern with the Education Foundation of Alachua County because I wanted to invest in the Gainesville community during my time in college. I loved my experience as the Marketing and Event intern! The staff invested in me during that time allowing me to learn many skills I use in my marketing career today. I gained experience in graphic design, event management, social media management and so much more. I am so thankful for the opportunity to intern at such an amazing organization.
Jacquelin Sheehan, Spring Intern 2019 -
I chose to intern with the Education Foundation because I wanted to work at an organization that has a profound impact on the lives of those in our community. Before beginning my internship, I was only vaguely aware of just how much the Education Foundation actually does. But throughout the summer, I have to come to understand that all of the programs can be life-changing for not just the students, but also their families. I have loved working with such a passionate and knowledgeable team.
Hannah Culberson, Summer Intern 2020 -
I interned with the Foundation for the summer semester in 2019. It was my first internship ever and I was lucky enough to be hired onto the staff at the end of my internship. I felt comfortable and supported throughout the experience. The team gave me the opportunity to show what I had learned during my time at UF and put my public relations and communication skills to the test. I truly feel like this internship gave me the confidence I needed to be successful in the workplace.
