Overall Experience
I had a great time at United Way and learned a lot.

Commission on Homelessness(Homeless Outreach)- I got to participite in meetings on Homelessness Outreach, grantwriting and took part in actual outreach work. It was a great learning experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in the social sector. I was lucky to be under the supervision of Ko who is an absolute godsend to volunteers (his smartness and patience is unbelievable).

Overall Experience
I interned at United Way Metro Atlanta in the summer of my first-year MBA. It was a life-enriching experience. I learned a lot, including non-profit marketing, project management and how to get things done with limited budget and time. People at UWMA are friendly, easy to approach, and knowledgable. I strongly recommend interning or voluteering here! You will never regret the time and efforts!

At United Way of Atlanta, I assisted with the development of a network of treatment court programs in the metro area. My primary responsibilities included corresponding with program contacts, locating appropriate social service providers,and researching funding opportunities.
