This summer, Mission Driven Purpose was elated to have Eric, Karelin, Mariah (not pictured), and Nathan, who were part of the 2022 cohort of interns for the MDP Summer internship program.
Our interns got attuned to the nonprofit enterprise and undertook various tasks with the organization.
We are pleased that our interns traipsed away from our internship with an enriched and broadened understanding of the nonprofit enterprise.
