2024 Intern Testimonials

Interning at The Mission of Winter Haven was an experience that shaped my view of nonprofit work. I first connected with The Mission as a high school student and was inspired by the passion and vision behind it. When choosing an internship, I knew I wanted to be part of something with that same dedication.

I worked mainly in media—managing social media, website updates, and research—while also stepping in wherever needed. This strengthened my digital media and communication skills and showed me the importance of flexibility.

What stood out most was the sense of family between clients and staff. The Mission isn’t just an organization—it’s a place where people feel safe, supported, and truly cared for.

I highly recommend this internship to anyone looking for hands-on experience in nonprofit work. The Mission welcomes you not just as an intern, but as a person—valued, supported, and part of something bigger.
