11 What Our Interns Say About ClassWish ClassWish is the perfect internship for anyone who is looking to make a difference and enjoy it. It provides flexibility for busy college schedules, allows you to meet people from different schools and countries, and sometimes you even get ice cream! Taylor Digby, New York University Interning at ClassWish the summer before my junior year at Columbia was a great decision. I applied for a graphic design position, and to my delight, I was working side by side with the Co-Founder. There are very few other opportunities in Manhattan that give you first hand experience as an intern. Natalie Jung, Columbia University The independence I ve had here has allowed me to contribute to ClassWish as a developing nonprofit at the same time as I ve gained valuable working experience and perspective as an individual.

I was able to learn great skills such as contacting prestigious PR firms around the country, recruiting donors, and updating all social media sites. There are many people working on all other sorts of exciting projects, all of them with the goal of helping children get a better education. If you want to make a difference, this is the place to intern. Michelle Ioannou, Fordham University ClassWish was most helpful in improving my interpersonal skills in a professional setting. This will certainly come in handy when i continue my work with my school s admissions department come this autumn, and will certainly come in hand post-graduation.
