Abstract

This past academic year, I was fortunate to serve as a development intern at GirlForward! GirlForward is a non-profit organization located here in Chicago and in Austin, TX. The mission of the organization is to enhance the opportunities of highschool age girls who identify as asylum-seeker, immigrant, or refugee once they resettle here in the U.S. This mission is achieved through education, safe spaces, and mentoring programs. As the development Intern, my work largely dealt with organizing donor databases, brainstorming innovative ways to fundraise, and working directly and indirectly with program donors to strengthen their relations with the organization.
