“Being the Marketing and Development Intern for CRF over the summer was an amazing experience. After the internship, I feel more prepared and confident in design, marketing, creating social media campaigns, as well as in an office setting”. – Rachel Laurie, Queens University, Summer 2017 Marketing and Development Intern
“These past two summers I have had the honor to work with the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation. I have learned more about the management of nonprofits, outreach programs, and publicity strategies than I thought I ever would from an internship. As an Environmental Studies undergrad, the connections, relationships, and skills I have acquired are unparalleled. CRF is an incredibly hard working organization, devoted to the well-being of our waterways, lakes, and rivers.” – Bill McGowan, Guilford College, Summer 2016 & 2017 CREEK Program
“I feel as though I have learned so much about non-profit organizations over my summer internship. The staff was friendly and truly wanted to craft the internship to fit with my professional interests. I was able to help with everything from event planning to meeting with foundation partners. Every day was a little different and every day I learned a little something more. I could not recommend this internship enough to someone who wants to learn more about non-profit organizations, while also getting experience with marketing, event planning, and/or fundraising.” –Hank Talmadge, UNC Chapel Hill, Summer 2017 Marketing and Development Intern
