Professional Growth & Education

I really enjoyed my internship with NICRO through VACorps. My supervisors at NICRO and VACorps were incredibly supportive and helpful in my professional growth. Kelly (VACorps) was so great in educating me about the NGO I was working at and guiding me in my work. I am thankful for her assistance. Venessa (NICRO) was an amazing mentor at NICRO and took me under her wing while I worked there. I enjoyed getting to know both of the supervisors and being able to help out at this wonderful organisation. I would recommend the program for those looking for a human rights law internship. The internship was great but it is more for someone who is flexible and willing to not always go into the office. I worked on the criminal record expungement database at NICRO and interviewed subjects using their intake tool. I helped put together and run a seminar they were planning.
