This summer, we were fortunate enough to have two amazing young women, Claire Kiely and Stephanie Ramirez, take on internships with GFC. We loved every minute of having them in the office! They have described some of their experiences below.

Claire Kiely
Not only did Girls For A Change lay a foundation of skills that can be useful in any future endeavors of mine, but it also re- confirmed the principle of GFC."

"Through the internship, I continued along my path to supreme self-confidence and empowerment. GFC has been pivotal in my growth to the powerful woman I am.

Stephanie Ramirez"
The summer has finally ended and today is the last day of my internship here at Girls For A Change. I can honestly say that I have gained effective working skills, but most importantly I have learned how to build positive relationships with my fellow co-workers.

Overall, I have taken away fantastic life values with me. GFC truly reaches out to young women to change their communities, but they take it even farther than that. GFC takes young woman on a journey. They have guided me in changing my community and have also opened doors of opportunity for me. By welcoming me into an internship they have showed me how important it is to them to have young women surrounding every level of GFC. They have given me a priceless gift: the gift of experience. I have built great relationships here and I use the skills I learned in my personal life. I have grown again this summer in my mind and morals. This summer has lifted me up more in becoming a strong adult woman.
