Why I wanted to join the team at Achieve Brown County (ABC): I wanted to join ABC because of its strong commitment to improving outcomes for young people across Brown County through collaboration and data-driven impact. After learning more about ABC’s mission and approach, I was inspired by how the organization connects education, community, and opportunity to create meaningful change.

Why I’m interested in working with my department: As the Partnership Advancement Intern, I’m excited to work with the team that builds and strengthens relationships across community partners. I believe collaboration is at the heart of progress, and being part of a department that drives partnership development allows me to contribute to real, measurable change in the community.

How this experience supports my future goals: This internship is giving me hands-on experience in communication, collaboration, and strategic planning — skills that will carry over perfectly into my future career in policy and international relations. It’s helping me understand how local actions can create broader change, which is exactly the kind of impact I want to make.
