"I don’t know many people my age who have the opportunity to learn as much as I do, and learning I have been...not necessarily only in the work place though.

One of the biggest things I learned about this summer was generosity and hospitality, and I have a lot of people to thank for that.  I was fortunate that community members here in Birmingham chose to give back and invite in college students like myself. I was fortunate to have such great bosses to learn from at my internship."

"The many activities, privileges, and events arranged for the Hillel interns gave us numerous opportunities for true fellowship and friendship.  I want to thank everyone who made this possible for us- we all grew so much in our work, and I absolutely consider y'all my closest friends at Hillel now."

"Very valuable.  I learned about QuickBooks, Doc.It, Excel features and many other programs associated with the business world.  I met clients, worked on multiple projects, and more!"
