Internship Testimonials
I enjoyed working for a company that had nothing to do with my career interest as it allowed me to discover a new career path, step out of my comfort zone, and meet goal-driven and hard-working individuals.
Samantha S, Summer 2021 Intern at CultHealth
I really enjoyed the work atmosphere. Everyone was super welcoming and nice, and willing to answer all my questions. They were determined that I benefited from the experience as well: constantly asking if I’m learning and working on the topics that I wanted to.
Danny D, Summer 2021 Intern at POCN
First and foremost, I loved that I was even given an opportunity to work with MVP that helped me gain my internship.
— Francis Alexa M-D, Summer 2021 Intern at Fingerpaint
I enjoyed having access to an expansive network of professionals who hold power and decision-making responsibility in NYC government. Throughout my internship, I had the chance to connect with lawyers, policy analysts, executives, etc. and build a potentially long-term, strong relationship with them.
