Learn To Be Foundation

My name is Heather and I am one of the marketing and communications interns at Learn To Be. I am currently studying business and public relations at Chapman University and will be graduating in May 2010. I have really enjoyed my time working for Learn To Be and have learned a lot about an organization that I am extremely proud to represent. Not only has this internship provided me with real world experience, but it has also familiarized me with the nonprofit world. Learn To Be has opened my eyes to the incredible things these organizations are able to do for people.

Over the past few months I have become extremely aware of the benefits a service like Learn To Be provides. Right now education is a major concern, especially in California, and the free tutoring that Learn To Be offers is invaluable. I am extremely grateful to have had this opportunity to be part of such a good cause.

Throughout my internship, I have assisted in writing website content, press releases, and media alerts. This allowed me to really apply the skills I have accumulated and use them in helping to promote Learn To Be. I also conducted research and delivered presentations to Learn To Be staff on trends among other companies. It was extremely informative and interesting to see what other organizations were doing to raise awareness, especially on Facebook, Twitter, and in blogs. In November, Learn To Be partnered with Project Access and the NBA to host a “Family Fun Day." I had a major role in organizing the event. It was fun to create games and activities for the kids and to see it all come together. The event was a success, the kids had a lot of fun, and so did I!

Interning has given me valuable experience that I will carry with me throughout my life. The things that Learn To Be is doing for the community are amazing and I would just like to thank everyone I have worked with and met through Learn To Be for allowing me to contribute and be a part of this great organization.
