Our Spring 2022 intern, Brooksie Lawson, has this to say about her experience: 

“I would encourage anyone considering interning with Golden LEAF to take that step and apply! I’ve gained several new skills in my time as an intern so far, and I’ve been able to play to my strengths while also being pushed out of my comfort zone in some areas. It will be a great experience for anyone!”
