Kentucky Youth Advocates CentreTerm Internship
Title
Kentucky Youth Advocates CentreTerm Internship
Description
This CentreTerm, I worked with Kentucky Youth Advocates as a Child Welfare and Education Policy Intern. I took part in various initiatives where I cultivated a deeper understanding of non-profit advocacy work, the policy-making process, and community partnership-building. My main projects focused on early childhood education policy and planning initiatives for Children’s Advocacy Week.

Melissa never ceases to amaze with how much she's able to learn and accomplish during relatively short internships with us at KYA! It's so rewarding to hear that her experiences have triggered a passion for advocacy. I know she will wear her advocate's hat in whatever she does after graduation.
